Russian billionaires lost shame

7
Forbes magazine calculated how much “living” money Russian billionaires received from February last year to February this year. In total, for ten people it turned out $ 10,7 billion.





Forbes published another income rating of wealthy Russians. But he did not take into account the total value of their “factories, factories, newspapers, ships”, but “live” money received in the form of dividends or from the sale of assets.

In the first place is Kirill Shamalov. In May of last year, he sold part of the shares of Sibur for $ 2,3 billion. He spent most of the proceeds on repaying a loan from Gazprombank, which he took in 2014 to buy Sibur. Shamalov first entered the Forbes income ranking.

It is followed by Alexei Mordashov, who earned $ 1,56 billion in dividends and the sale of Severstal shares.

In third place is Vladimir Lisin with $ 1,23 billion received in the form of dividends from his company NLMK. The total amount of dividends paid by the company in 2017 amounted to 84,3 billion rubles. Most of this money (84%) was received by Lisin.

Dmitry Rybolovlev stood out for arranging a sale of paintings. Most of them sold cheaper than bought, but the work of Leonardo da Vinci's “Savior of the World” has risen in price by 3,5 times. For it, he received $ 450 million. He also sold some real estate. Total revenue of $ 860 million brought him sixth place in the ranking.

Closes the top ten TOP Alisher Usmanov. He did not sell anything during the “reporting period”. But due to the dividends of Metalloinvest and Megafon, it became richer by $ 660 million.

I must say that over the past crisis year, the majority of Russian oligarchs got rich quite well.

Vladimir Lisin, whose fortune is estimated at $ 19,1 billion, has become richer by $ 3 billion.

Vagit Alekperov “rose” by $ 1,9 billion and became the owner of a fortune of $ 16,4 billion.

Vladimir Potanin “gained weight” by $ 1,6 billion, and now his assets are estimated at $ 15,9 billion.

Art lover Viktor Vekselberg brought himself + $ 2 billion, increasing his fortune to $ 14,4 billion.

Suleiman Kerimov, being under house arrest in Nice, managed to contribute $ 0,1 billion to his personal piggy bank and now owns property worth $ 6,4 billion.

Eminent economists argue that the growth of the well-being of individual citizens in difficult times is due to their remarkable energy, professionalism and business acumen.

Evil tongues say that oligarchs arrange crises on purpose, because in troubled waters, it is simpler and easier to increase wealth.

Ordinary Russians, for whom a billion and a million dollars are equally unattainable, abuse power in the kitchens in the evening and go to work in the morning. Even if they pay little and irregularly.

    Only the support of Pytin ensures the prosperity of these ghouls!

      Can you tell how exactly Putin supports them? Distributing dividends? Businesses giving? Unsubscribes his property?
      Apparently, it’s hard for you to realize that not all people have the same ability to do business. Yes, but how did you personally manage to annoy Putin? Recently, in the USA and in Britain, he’ve been troubled by something ......

        I can tell. He supports them by lobbying the interests of the oligarchs and not paying attention to the issues of economic policy, which is being pursued by the head of government represented by him. He does not guarantee decent wages. He does not pay due attention to the issues of the banking system, which has turned into usurious offices that do not even have the right to engage in financial activities. In the nineties thimble games and lotteries were widespread. It was also "business" - the business of crime. All our oligarchs are the fosterlings of the criminal world. Few of them can explain the origin of their states. And meeting with them (the oligarchs), rewarding them for their services to the Fatherland, arranging them, by ignoring constitutional equality for all, preferential living conditions, Putin condones exactly the economic model that has developed. His statements about the ineffectiveness of introducing progressive personal income tax speak of only one thing - support for the clans of the Russian oligarchs who nominated him.

    This is not good. And even - very bad.
    No, I am calm about the fact of the existence of the rich. It is ugly that we have 22 million people below the poverty line. In a country that sells gas, oil, nickel and other ....
    Who's guilty? Generally speaking, the weak state with all its many organs is to blame. Privatization in the early 90s was carried out very disgustingly, it is necessary to correct it. But our permanent chairman refused to do this, supposedly undermining this confidence in our privatization, which resulted in the Latin American version: super-rich and super-powerful. They suggested introducing a progressive taxation scale when the rich pay taxes up to 80%. The State Duma refused - dollar millionaires are sitting there, so why do they need it?
    Wild property stratification is one of the reasons for the Russian revolutions of the early 20th century. And our history has not taught us anything. Unfortunately, nothing good is ahead of me. Especially when you consider that there are no real reformers with minds of state scale on the political Olympus even close.
    Pichalka.

    In the context of Russia's growing international isolation, it is high time to cleanse the "Augean stables" from the elite of political and economic collaborators who have settled in all power structures from top to bottom. For everything about everything, Putin has a year and a half. According to the results of the elections, he received the mandate. It's about time !!!

    Let's dig deeper. The oligarchs are not so bad, but who are the owners of the Central Bank? After all, it is not state, but, therefore, private and belongs to the one who registered it outside the Russian Federation in the 90s and fictitiously registered with us for eye removal. Ts ... with sowing secrecy kept behind seven seals! It is legally located outside the state, and follows IMF instructions reflecting the interests of not Russia at all. He buys US securities sponsoring the US economy and military programs. That's who established the Central Bank, they are the masters of Russia. Most likely some of the reformers of the 90s, well-known personalities. And some supreme leaders at the beginning of their careers raised the question of the nationalization of the Central Bank, and then subsided. Looks also fell into the share.

    So the Central Bank of Russia, and therefore the whole country, works for America, for the dollar, and for certain cunning individuals in the fog.
