High Standards For The Russian Rich List
One billion dollars is no longer enough to gain entry to Russia’s rich list.
Ten billionaires failed to make Forbes magazine’s annual list of the 100 richest Russians that is led by those who built their fortunes on the country’s metals resources. Russia’s richest 100 people had a combined fortune of $522 billion - 3.8 times more than the total when Forbes first published a Russian list in 2004.
Another reason for the increase in dollar billionaires was the fall in the value of the U.S. currency. Boo!
