Title: Russia has 3rd most billionaires after US and Germany Post by: Krispy Kreme on March 09, 2007, 09:49:47 AM 'FORBES' SAYS RUSSIA HAS 53 BILLIONAIRES. The latest issue of
"Forbes" magazine says Russia now has 53 dollar billionaires -- the third most in the world after the United States and Germany, and 16 more than in 2006, news.ru reported on March 9. The magazine noted that the cumulative worth of the Russian billionaires is $282 billion -- higher than the total of the German billionaires. It also says that the average age of Russia's billionaires is 46 -- 16 years younger than the 62 years average of other billionaires. The magazine reports that Russia's richest man continues to be Roman Abramovich, ranking 16th in the world with $18.7 billion. He is still far behind the world's richest man, who is Microsoft cofounder Bill Gates with wealth estimated at $56 billion. The Russian magazine "Finans" recently suggested that Oleg Deripaska has overtaken Abramovich as Russia's richest man. On March 5, Communist Party (KPRF) leader Gennady Zyuganov raised the issue of the rich at a regional elections rally in Ramenskoye in Moscow Oblast, "The Moscow Times" reported on March 9. He asked the crowd rhetorically: "why did Abramovich steal your wealth? Why does [Unified Energy Systems CEO Anatoly] Chubais get paid $100,000 per month?" But in the end, Zyuganov made no policy proposals and simply called for "elementary justice."
