International Desk: The bloody war between Russia and Ukraine is not only taking lives, but billions of dollars are being lost by the world's rich. Russia attacked Ukraine on February 24 last year. After that, in the last one year, 23 rich Russians have collected 67 billion or about seven thousand billion dollars. As of February 23, 2022, their combined wealth was $339 billion. News from Bloomberg.
Alexey Mordashov lost the most money in Russia. He is the principal owner of Severstal PGSC. The company is one of the leading steel manufacturers. He lost $6.7 billion after the war began. Currently, his assets amount to 19.8 billion dollars. Moreover, Alexei Mordashov is the fourth richest man in Russia.
Another steelmaker, Vladimir Lisin, is second in terms of money loss. He lost 5.8 billion dollars. Now his assets amount to 20.5 billion dollars.
But the opposite picture is seen in the case of Russian rich man Andrey Guriev. During this period, his fortune increased by two and a half billion dollars due to the increase in stock prices.
