THE FAMILY OF WILDBERRIES FOUNDER BECAME THE RICHEST IN RUSSIA
Tatiana and Vladislav Bakalchuk ranked first in the new Forbes ranking among the richest families in Russia. Thanks to the Wildberries platform, they managed to overtake the Rotenbergs.


It is interesting that in 2021, the Bakalchuks entered the ranking of the richest families in the Russian Federation for the first time - and immediately took the leading position. Tatiana and Vladislav are co-owners of the Wildberries company, but their co-ownership has taken place not so long ago. Until December 31, 2019, Tatyana was the only owner, but then she transferred 1% to her husband.
The Bakalchuks' fortune is estimated at $ 13.1 billion.
Market experts note that Tatiana Bakalchuk's actions to transfer 1% of the company to her husband are of exclusively technical importance. The fact is that, according to the laws of the Russian Federation, organizations with the only owner cannot create 100% subsidiaries. Thanks to their co-ownership, Wildberries will be able to create subsidiaries according to a simplified scheme and build the structure of more successful corporation.

Earlier, Tatyana Bakalchuk ranked first in the ranking of the richest women in Russia with a fortune of $ 13 billion (her husband has $ 130 million). As for the list of the richest families, the second place was taken by the Guryevs - the owners of Phosagro ($ 6.9 billion), and the Rotenbergs, who previously occupied the first place, were in third place with almost $ 6 billion.

Next are the Gutserievs (RussNeft, Russian Coal) with $ 3.7 billion, the Yevtushenkovs (AFK Sistema) with $ 3.2 billion, the Shaimievs (Tatavtodor, TAIF, etc.) with $ 3 billion, The Rakhimkulovs (Kafijat) with almost 2 billion rubles and the Bazhaevs (Alliance, Polis) with 1.75 billion dollars. Rounding out the top ten are the Linniki - the owners of Miratorg with $ 1.7 billion) and the Sarkisovs with RESO and $ 1.65 billion.
