Igor and Dmitry Bukhman are the only representatives of the gaming industry in the top.
There are not many IT businessmen in the list as a whole. For example, Pavel Durov is in 30th place with $3.4 billion, and Badoo founder Andrey is in 52nd position. Ogandzhanyants with $1.8 billion.
The top positions in the list of the richest businessmen in Russia are occupied by owners of enterprises in the “heavy” industry. In the first place with a fortune of $19.7 billion is Vladimir Potanin, president of Norilsk Nickel, in the second — Vladimir Lisin, the owner of NLMK steel, the third position is held by Leonid Mikhelson, the founder of the Novatek gas company.
In the Forbes list, the founders of Playrix made their debut. However, this is not the first time the Buchman brothers have entered the billionaire charts. A year ago, Bloomberg noted them in the ranking of the richest people on the planet. Then the state of each of them was estimated at $ 1.4 billion.
Given the rapid expansion of the company, which spends $100 million a year on acquisitions and investments, as well as the growing performance of its gaming blackbusters, next year the brothers may be even higher on the list.
