The richest people of Ukraine: list, rating. 100 richest people in Ukraine

They build huge palaces, build car parks and buy expensive paintings at auctions. Their children study abroad, wives own restaurants and salons, and on the mother-in-law is recorded expensive real estate on the ocean shore. Millionaires are accustomed to live on a broad foot and to amaze the world with their new purchases. Some of them earned a fortune with hard work, others with a quirky mind and wit, others - they simply stole from the state. Whatever it was, they actually run the country, investing their money in the development of enterprises, opening up new banks and becoming sponsors of election campaigns. The rating of the richest people in Ukraine you will learn just now.

Rinat Akhmetov

A well-known Ukrainian businessman specializing in metallurgy and fuel and energy, owner of the football club "Shakhtar", takes first place. In 2014, his fortune was estimated at 11.2 billion dollars. Like all the richest people in Ukraine, because of the conflicts in the country last year, he lost some of the money. For example, in 2008, his fortune brought in three times more profit.

Rinat Akhmetov started his career in the family of a simple miner in Donetsk. According to him, the first million he earned, engaged in private business in the 90s, after the collapse of the USSR. Also in 1995 he was one of the founders of Dongorbank. Slowly increasing the turnover, he topped the list of the 10 richest people in Ukraine.

Nowadays, more than 90 different enterprises bring profit to it. This is primarily a huge combine Azovstal and the football club Shakhtar. In addition, Khartsyzsk Tube Works, Mariupol Metkombinat, insurance firm ASKA, and a number of other institutions and companies give their millionth profits.

Viktor Pinchuk

In the top of the richest people in Ukraine is this well-known businessman. As well as Akhmetov, his professional interests are guided by the sphere of metallurgy. But, in addition, he owns a lot of media in this country. In 2014, he earned $ 3 billion.

Victor Pinchuk was born in Kiev. He graduated from the metallurgical institute and became a candidate of technical sciences. He began to work as a laboratory assistant and research fellow, while simultaneously mastering new business spaces. In 1990 he was at the beginning of the creation of the scientific and investment group "Interpipe". Over the years, Pinchuk's success has grown, and today he is a major industrialist and media tycoon.

In our days, "Interpipe" has been re-qualified as a financial and industrial group. Under his control are several dozen enterprises (Dneprospetsstal, Nizhnedneprovsky Pipe and Novomoskovsk Pipe Plant). He also owns such Ukrainian TV channels as "STB", ICTV, "New", "M1", the newspaper "Facts and Comments". In January 2008, he sold Ukrsotsbank to Austrian partners for $ 2 billion.

Gennady Bogolyubov

The richest people in Ukraine love publicity. But this can not be said of Gennady Bogolyubov, who remains always closed to the press. In 2014, he earned $ 2 billion. Invariably remains a partner of another millionaire - Igor Kolomoisky.

Back in the 90's, they jointly organized the firm Sentosa, which sold computer equipment. Gradually developing and opening new projects, he "put together" a great fortune. Today under the wing of Bogolyubov is Privatbank, a chemical enterprise Dniproazot, foreign assets in the mining and processing of manganese ore. The oligarch owns a lot of enterprises and factories.

He often does charity. For example, it was Bogolyubov who sponsored excavations of archaeologists at the Western Wall. And he also donated a million dollars to purchase prayer books for Jews who pray at this sacred building. On the Wailing Wall hangs a carpet on which it says "A gift from Bogolyubov." The Ukrainian is the only one to whom such honor fell.

Igor Kolomoisky

He directly follows his partner Bogolyubov, behind only a little. In 2014, his incomes fluctuated at the level of 1.8 billion. He has been working in the field of finance since 1985. For 20 years he managed to build a huge, powerful financial and economic empire in Ukraine.

Kolomoisky is considered the leader of the "Privat" group. It is his opinion that is taken into account first of all when making the most important decisions. The assets of this association include industrial plants, mills, energy companies and banks. Among the most famous structures, mention should be made of PrivatBank, which has more than 2 thousand branches throughout the country, as well as UkrNaftu, Neftekhimik Prykarpattya and others.

Like all the richest people in Ukraine, he appears from time to time in business scandals. For example, everyone remembers his lawsuit with Pinchuk for Nikopol Ferroalloy Plant. Or legal proceedings with one of the owners of the 1 + 1 channel, Rodnyansky, regarding the ownership of this lucrative media business.

Vadim Novinsky

Residents of Kiev, Lviv, Donetsk, Odessa and other cities probably know one hundred of the richest people in Ukraine. And this list of popular oligarchs can not do without the name of Novinsky, which deals with metallurgy and machine building. His income is estimated at 1.4 billion dollars. He is a citizen of Ukraine, although he was born in the Novgorod region (Russia).

In the late 80's he held a post in the Petrozavodsk aviation squadron. Then he went into business with his head: he brought newsprint from Karelia and sold it several times more expensive in Bulgaria. Received money spent on the purchase at home of cars brand Zaporozhets, which sold in Karelia. This is the cycle of business in nature.

Nowadays he is the honorary president of the football club "Sevastopol". He holds a patent for the explosive "Ukrainit". In 2011, bought from the Russian VTB its subsidiary financial institution in Ukraine - the Bank of Moscow. It is the owner of a solid block of shares in the Nikolaevsky, Chernomorsky and Kherson shipbuilding plants.

Peter Poroshenko

The current President of Ukraine was listed among the ten richest of his fellow citizens recently. Previously, he held 17th place in the ranking. In 2014, his profit rose to 1.3 billion, which raised him to sixth position. His sphere of interest is the agro-industrial complex and the media. He has a lot of factories and plants, insurance companies and media. Despite the fact that the president by law does not have the right to do business, Poroshenko does not sell his companies, as they are written to his relatives and partners.

Usually the richest people in Ukraine achieved success by saving money and avoiding unnecessary waste. But about Poroshenko can not say this. He is absolutely not greedy, especially in relation to his subordinates. At his famous confectionery factory "Roshen" a simple cleaner receives at least 4 thousand hryvnia. This salary is much higher than the average for Ukraine. The same is obtained by the middle manager. In general, colleagues characterize Poroshenko as a tough and adventurous businessman with intuition and phenomenal memory.

Yuri Kosyuk

Like Poroshenko, he has $ 1.3 billion in bank accounts. He was born in the Cherkasy region of Ukraine, by profession - an engineer. Worked as a broker. In 1995, he opened the "Business Center", which was engaged in the food industry. First of all, the company exported grain and other food products, as well as sold goods on the domestic market.

In the late 90's, he founded several popular enterprises: the trademark "Nasha Ryaba", which sells chicken, and "Myronivsky Hliboproduct." Actively engaged in political activities: in 2014 he was appointed the first deputy head of the Presidential Administration.

Success Kosyuku as a businessman brought his ability to monitor prices, the cost of goods, work on effective sales. He is not afraid of defeats, so he always goes forward. He believes that during a crisis in business, one can survive only through healthy competitiveness.

Konstantin Zhevago

He is not simply included in the list of the 100 richest people in Ukraine, but invariably takes the lead in it. In 2014, his fortune was estimated at 1.1 billion. Engaged in finance and metallurgy. He founded his business when he was barely 19 years old. By the age of 30 he had become a Ukrainian oligarch. Konstantin Zhevago - the first in Ukraine and in Russia, who managed to bring his company Ferrexpo to the main site of the world famous stock exchange in London. Today he controls one of the largest financial and political groups in Ukraine, is a deputy and president of the football club Vorskla.

The company Zhevago focuses on the East. He opened a branch in Tokyo, and under the control of his company is 15% of the Japanese market of pellets. He is engaged in oligarchy and charity: all his salary in Ferrexpo, which is 240 thousand dollars, he lists for good deeds. Has its own charitable foundation, which last year spent 17 million US dollars on the construction of sports school grounds.

Sergey Tigipko

The list of the richest people in Ukraine also includes this politician and entrepreneur. His sphere of interest is finance and engineering. Last year, the oligarch's profit increased to one billion dollars. Tigipko calls himself a democratic politician. His companions consider him a good partner, understandable and consistent. Once he advised the second President of Ukraine, Kuchma, in financial matters, also worked closely with Kolomoisky.

Tigipko is the founder of the TAS Group, in his hands a large stake in this company. The firm specializes in the banking sector, real estate, industry and venture projects. The oligarch is sure: to reach the top, you need to start small. Anyone who wants to be the head of an enterprise must first work as a simple manager. Beginning businessmen are always advised to pay attention to the export of goods to the West, and not to the CIS markets. In business, he likes to be the main one: to independently select personnel, approve the budget and make strategic decisions.

Alexander Yaroslavskyi

This Ukrainian oligarch is engaged in investments. In 2014, his income grew to 930 million and continues to increase. His first money was due to the exchange of oil from Ufa to the pipes at home. Since then, he believes that the fastest way to wealth is through "black gold" and gas.

Yaroslavsky also actively engaged in trading operations. His main difference from colleagues - he never set himself the goal of becoming a tycoon, just trying to live in prosperity. His first major purchase was a chemical enterprise "Azot" in Cherkassy. He started with 30% of the shares, then gradually took over all the assets of the firm. Later, he sold the plant to another oligarch, Firtash, receiving $ 350 million for it.

He leads friendship with Russian oligarchs, like other richest people in Ukraine. Forbes, analyzing its activities, cites Yaroslavsky's contacts with Deripaska and Abramovich as an example. He has a reputation as a resolute person, who always fulfills promises and knows how to negotiate.

200 richest people in Ukraine

This list includes, in addition to the above individuals, other business representatives. For example, the same Firtash. He is in 19th place with his 400 million dollars. Among the first fifty appear the names of Boyko, Kolesnikov and Khoroshkovsky. The first woman, who earned 240 million, is engaged in retail. This is Galina Gerega, she is on the 38th position. On the 40th place - the famous scandalous politician Nestor Shufrich and his 195 million, on 89th - Igor Surkis. Irina Miroshnik closes the hundred, which received 50 million from the chemical industry.

The list of two hundred Ukrainian oligarchs includes representatives of such companies as Western Dairy Group, Foxtrot, MTI, Asnova Holding and others. In their hands, virtually the entire profitable business in Ukraine. Recently, many of them have targeted their interests on the media, as they understand: in our time the media is a clear fourth power. Buying television channels, Internet resources and printed publications, they further expand the scope of their interests. And being under the constant supervision of the "yellow press", they often become heroes of scandalous publications and reports.
