Imagine being able to drive your Lamborghini down a busy street, getting into an accident & leaving the scene in a Bentley. That’s exactly what happened in Stavropol, Russia! How can a person just be able to do that? Well, I guess Lamborghini crashes happen pretty often in Russia, with no questions asked or ever answered. Why, because that’s how they roll!
So, as of March 6th, Moscow became the world’s billionaire capital! Moscow has 74 billionaires with an average monetary standing of $5.9 billion, placing it above New York, Forbes Magazine said in its annual rich list published on Thursday. According to the list, New York has 71 billionaires, followed by London with 36, Istanbul with 34, and Hong Kong with 30.
With a combined wealth of a mind-boggling $522 billion, the Forbes ‘golden hundred’ list for Russia is topped by Oleg Deripaska, the head of holding company Basic Element, at $28.6 billion, who has seen his capital grow by over $11.8 billion from last year.
The fall in the value of the dollar is believed to be one of the factors for the sharp increase in Russian billionaires, whose numbers have jumped by 50 to 110 since 2007, with $1.1 billion needed to make it into the 100 list compared with the 2007 figure of $660 million.
