For a long time, the Russians will not forget the call of Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev to “hold on” when there is no money. But there are people who adhere well without any appeals, earning millions and even billions of dollars. A list of such people - the richest in Russia - was published by Forbes magazine. To get into their number you need to have at least 500 million dollars. And a pass in the top 10 "costs" more than $ 12 billion. Introducing the top ten richest Russians in 2017.

The talent of the entrepreneur at Melnichenko manifested itself in his young years.

In 1997, a company appeared, created by Melnichenko and Sergey Popov. She bought up a number of production assets that served as the basis for SUEK, TMK and EuroChem. Currently, SUEK and Eurochem, as well as the energy holding company SGK, bring Melnichenko the main income.
