Russian land is not impoverished by dollar billionaires. At the moment, there are 96 people according to Forbes. In their families, 274 children grow, who, as they say, "were born with a golden spoon in their mouth." The total wealth of the richest families in Russia is 386 billion dollars, that is, about 1.4 billion dollars for every future rich man.
Forbes experts have compiled rating of richest heirs of Russia, which includes children with a capital of 2.3 billion dollars and above. In total, the top 47 included the richest young Russians. The list has not changed much compared to 2016. It included the only newcomer - the family of the main shareholder of UC Rusal Oleg Deripaska, who took the place of the ex-owner of MDM Bank Sergey Popov.
47 heirs of Russian billionaires (table)
Eight young billionaires followed in their father's footsteps and work in family structures. The remaining children of the owners of factories, newspapers and steamboats are either still studying or working in companies that do not belong to their parents.
When compiling the ranking of the richest heirs in the Russian Federation, Forbes experts acted according to a simple method: they took the state of each of the 96 billionaires and divided into all recognized children of the businessman. At the same time, the shares of the spouses and the statements of some oligarchs (for example, Mikhail Fridman and Vladimir Potanin) that their children would not receive a large inheritance, since it would be used for charitable purposes, were not taken into account.
