Vladimir Lisin (picture left) tops the list with a net worth of $28 billion. He is described as "the low profile chairman" of NLMK Steel.
Second on the list is Mikhail Prokhorov with a $22 billion net worth. Avid readers of the Think Billions blog will know Mikhail as the new hapless owner of the New Jersey Nets with their even more hapless attempt at landing Carmelo Anthony. Regardless of the management and basketball strategies of the New Jersey Nets, Prokhorov has tripled his net worth over the last three years.
Third on the list is Alisher Usmanov of Metalloinvest another metals company. He is also a shareholder in the Arsenal Football Club.
