The 10 most wealthy Russians, despite the sanctions and crises, only increased their wealth. Country, know your heroes!

This week, the Bloomberg agency has released a study in which it considered how much the welfare of the richest people in different countries grew or fell. For this, data were taken into account from January 1 to October 17, 2018.

During the calculations, it turned out that in terms of the growth rate of wealth, the TOP-10 of the most wealthy people in the country, the leadership is firmly held by Russia with an indicator of +10.8% to the existing means of top businessmen. The United States (+7.5%) turned out to be second, closed the Troika of Great Britain. Against the background of sanctions stories and permanent crisis phenomena in the economy, such a country's leadership looks slightly discouraging. In the direction of decrease, wealth moved among the wealthy people of Germany, Hong Kong and especially China - there the capital of the country's main businessmen sank by almost a third.

In total, 12 countries participated in the ranking.

The indicators calculated by Bloomberg are dynamic - this means that October 18, the total amount of all wealth of the rating participants may change. However, the trend remains the same - and the first ten wealthy Russians in the country remains the same. The New Gazeta, taking advantage of Bloomberg, looked at the dynamics of the growth of the capital of these people.
