Forbes 2006 net worth: $10 billionViktor Feliksovich Vekselberg
(born April 14, 1957, Western Ukraine, Soviet Union) is the owner and president of Renova Group, a large Russian conglomerate.
After working as an engineer in an obscure state lab for many years, Vekselberg moved to business in 1990. He rose to prominence after Yeltsin's reelection in 1996 as co-owner and chairman of Tyumen Oil (TNK), one of Russia's largest oil and gas companies. He took a controlling interest in the company in 1997 and has subsequently developed a joint venture with BP. About the same time he co-founded SUAL Holding, which since grew to control Russia's second-largest aluminum business and is ranked ninth in the world. Later, he integrated those and other assets under the umbrella of Renova Group, delegating operating responsibilities to managers.
Vekselberg is now overseeing a vast restructuring of his assets: the division of property with partner Leonid Blavatnik, the merger of Renova's aluminium assets with those of Oleg Deripaska, and the integration of various electricity and telecommunications investments.
Viktor Vekselberg is often considered to be one of the remaining Russian oligarchs. The Forbes magazine estimated his wealth at 5 billion dollars in March 2005. Actual net worth is estimated over US$10 billion.
