Statistics show that Forbs is one of the most popular magazines among women. This is not a magazine at all, but a source of extremely important information. Do you want to know about the most enviable grooms and just interesting men? All Russian billionaires are presented on one page of the Russian version of Forbes.

Alisher Usmanov

The list of "Billionaires of Russia" ("Forbes" 2014) has already been published, and the first place in it is securely occupied by the same person who headed last year's rating. This is Alisher Usmanov - a businessman, 60 years old, married (unfortunately). For the third year now, he has consistently ranked first in the ranking of the richest businessmen in Russia.

Who would have thought thirty years ago that a plastic bag business could get such a great start? At present, Megafon, Mail, the Kommersant publishing house, the Muz-TV television channel, the Arsenal London football club and much more should be associated with his name. Alisher Usmanov's wife is no less famous than he himself. This is a talented and venerable coach inrhythmic gymnastics Irina Viner.

Many athletes brought up by her later became Olympic champions, for example, Alina Kabaeva, Elena Kanaeva, Yuri Barsukov. A couple of Viner and Usmanov have been living together since the early 90s of the last century. They are a wonderful example of the fact that big money does not exclude mutual love and devotion.

Vagit Alekperov

The rating of Russian billionaires has been mentioning the name of Vagit Alekperov since 2005. Since then, his position in the first lines of the list has changed, but has always remained very stable. Since the 1980s, he has been involved in gas and oil. Refueling at a Lukoil gas station, you buy gasoline from Vagit Alekperov.

The son of an oil tycoon - Yusuf Alikperov, a young man of 24 with a good education and incredible potential. Being one of the most enviable bachelors in Russia, he does not forget to carefully study his father's business, master the basics of technology, the basics of production and management.

Mikhail Fridman

The billionaires of Russia in 2013 also have Mikhail Fridman in their ranks. He laid the foundation for his business in his student years. In those distant times, he arranged discos, concerts, author's evenings, and sometimes just sold theater tickets. In the future, there was also a window cleaning business, and food delivery to the population.

But today Mikhail Fridman owns Alfa-Bank, our favorite mobile operator Vimpelcom (BeeLine brand), as well as almost half of the business of a largegrocery retailer X5 Retail Group (Pyaterochka trademark).

In his free time, the businessman plays chess, watches his favorite movies, and also makes exciting helicopter rides. Friedman does not like injustice. Trying to restore it in relation to those who have not yet been lucky in life, he does a lot of charity work.

Vladimir Potanin

The list of Russian billionaires also includes another important person - Vladimir Potanin. For a long time, MGIMO has been known as a factory of highly qualified professionals. The distant year 1983 was no exception, and the future General Director of the Norilsk Nickel company, Vladimir Potanin, received a pass to a great life.

After the Sochi Olympics, his personal brainchild - the Rosa Khutor ski resort - is considered the most fashionable vacation spot for sports and progressive young people.

Mikhail Prokhorov

When it comes to an attractive man with an athletic build, 204 cm tall, basketball players come to mind first of all. But in vain. Because you can be two meters tall, have an attractive appearance, an athletic body and be not a basketball player, but an excellent entrepreneur. We are talking, of course, about the amazing Mikhail Prokhorov. Russia's billionaires can be proud to have such an amazing person in their ranks.

Fame came to Prokhorov after the 2012 presidential race. It was pleasant and very exciting to follow his election campaign. Byat least that's what women of almost all ages thought.

Interestingly, the charming billionaire is still single. He is officially in search of a life partner, but … not a wife. Prokhorov is deeply convinced that people marry only because of everyday disorder. And from this side, his rear is well protected.

By the way, surrounded by close attention of many women, deepened in business and politics, billionaire Prokhorov still found time for basketball. True, only as the owner of the Nats club.

Roman Abramovich

There is an old Jewish joke. Rabinovich shows the couple his dacha, put up for sale, with the words: “Name your price, we will laugh heartily, and then we will talk about business!”

But Roman Abramovich does not sell dachas, but buys them. In modern conditions, the prospects for development and doing business are at least uncertain. Therefore, all Russian billionaires invest in stable and expensive real estate. Roman Abramovich, as a far-sighted entrepreneur, is one of them. The authoritative newspaper The New York Post publicized his deal for a luxurious 6-story mansion in Manhattan.

Fans of Carrie Bradshaw got another reason for the fetish and madness in Manhattan - the neighborhood with a Russian billionaire in a white mansion. However, secular lionesses do not cherish the dream of marrying this prince, because they are afraid of his somewhat peculiar character. The memories of the scandalous divorce from the ex-wife are still fresh.and the mother of his five children, Irina Abramovich. In addition, the position of Dasha Zhukova, who gave birth to two children to the prolific businessman, remains strangely uncertain today.

As they say, whatever the billionaires of Russia amuse themselves with, as long as they please us with their eccentric antics. And we will continue to follow their success in business and personal life with pleasure and interest.
