How we thought
Forbes has been evaluating the world's largest fortunes for decades. To do this, the journal uses a specially developed methodology, the basis of which is as follows:1. Our assessment of the state of an entrepreneur is the value of his assets: shares of companies, land, real estate, as well as personal property, etc.
2. All public companies are valued by market capitalization. Closed companies are valued on the basis of information on sales volumes, profits, equity; a comparison is made with companies of similar performance that are traded on the exchange or in the recent past were the object of purchase and sale. We try to be conservative and evaluate the property of entrepreneurs according to the principle “at least not cheaper”.
3. In this list, the price of companies is fixed as of February 12, 2016. The age of the participants in the list is as of April 15, 2016.
4. Russian entrepreneurs often register the shares of their enterprises to their next of kin. Given this circumstance, Forbes attributes all the assets that the family of entrepreneurs manages to the head of the family - if relatives do not accept active participation in the management of the company of which they are co-owners.
5. The list includes only those citizens of Russia who earned the bulk of their capital privately, without being a civil servant.
6. The list includes only the 200 richest businessmen in Russia, the bottom of the rating is a fortune of $ 350 million. If you did not find any of the well-known entrepreneurs in the list, then Forbes estimates his fortune at less than $ 350 million.
The information given in the Forbes rating is an expert and journalistic assessment of the total volume of property ownership by the indicated persons. This information is not official and can only be used privately.
