The richest Russians paid a gigantic bill for the war

The combined fortune of 22 of Russia's richest businessmen in the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, as of April 1, is $299.47 billion. This amount has decreased by $50.1 billion since the beginning of 2022, according to Meduza.ru. It could be better if it were not for the fact that some of the oligarchs are not subject to sanctions.

Here's what the top five Russians look like, according to Bloomberg:

Vladimir Potanin with assets of $29.4 billion (which is $1.47 billion less than at the beginning of the year);

Leonid Mikhelson - $27.5 billion ($4.9 billion less);

Alexey Mordashov - $23.1 billion ($5.7 billion less);

Vladimir Lisin - $23 billion (decrease by $4.97 billion);

Alisher Usmanov - $19.8 billion (less by $1.5 billion).

Vagit Alekperov, co-owner of Lukoil, lost more than other richest Russians. His fortune decreased by as much as $17.4 billion. Alekperov's fortune is currently estimated at $5.36 billion. It ranks last on Bloomberg's list.
