See the entrepreneurs today. Famous entrepreneurs of the world and Russia

It’s clear that if the light crisis is going down, it will be outside the main spheres of people’s lives. As a rule, companies burst with collapse, and industries close with a bang. But in the chaos of chaos, entrepreneurs are gathering, who are not the ones who lose respect for such shocks, but who try to avoid them. And for those who do, such minds become a change of heart for the development of a rich, multimillion-dollar business.

Of course, as we speak about successful people from other countries, especially distant ones, the butt looks poorly developed. Even these great and successful people have developed to take over our minds. So let’s not be foolishly cowardly in the future, but let’s talk about the many entrepreneurs of Russia that have millions of dollars in capital today.

Vietnamese enterprises

The most popular example throughout the country is the Russian young entrepreneurs who created the social network VKontakte. Almost all the leaders and ideologists today sold their parts of the business. The reason for this, as one of the main leaders Pavlo Durov knew, is the inability of minds in the middle of Russia to develop an honest private business. It is obvious that the service is constantly tempting to be purchased, divided, changed, and then sold. And yet there is a great influx of enormity. Instead of fighting against the pressure of Durov, we simply move beyond the cordon and travel with light, without stopping anywhere for long. I am gradually developing a new project with my team.

What we would rather appreciate is the very fact that during a favorable economic period it was possible to create such an intense commercial project. For example, one of Durov’s partners, Vyacheslav Mirilashvili, invested 30 thousand at the start of the business. dollars And six years later, he became a dollar billionaire in Russia, and the youngest one at that.

However, there are not a few of today's industrial enterprises that have reached extraordinary heights in business at a difficult economical time. Let’s say less about the sprat.

Maxim Nogotkov

Another crisis period, Nogotkov stated that the Russian market is friendly to its developments: there are a lot of unique niches and a low level of competition. Without throwing it to the wind, and after all the fates after such a statement, it has sunk to the rating of the 200 richest entrepreneurs in Russia, the ongoing work created by the Zvyazkovy group of companies.

Illya Shershnev

Not every business in Russia started their business with students, but not just those. As a student, he worked for the real estate company Penny Lane Realty. Having gathered the necessary information there, I fell asleep with the power of the Swiss Realty Group. Before the start of the crisis, the company's turnover reached 10 billion dollars. If Shershnyov didn’t have the chance to see his child afloat in the folding minds of his life, he had to close it. Otherwise, you should not accept any valid information, having lost the ability to work as an expert in this area, assessing and maintaining the integrity of the three solders.

Dmitro Salikhov

Before going to bed, Dmitro checked three different jobs. The rest of the staff was made redundant due to the crisis that arose. Ale was not disappointed. Like many other entrepreneurs, this is a great benefit for the start of power.

There's a problem with the transfer transfers. Having started dealing with a number of drivers in their cars, they collected passengers at airports and delivered them to the specified addresses. Once he had accumulated enough funds to open a government office, Salikhov began to work with the most popular taxi services. This gave the company I'way the status of the organization and brought in corporate clients. Now the company is small, two offices - one each in Kazan and the capital of Russia.

Ale na tsoma Dmitro did not hesitate. Today, the services of your company can be obtained quickly in 65 countries around the world in 200 places. At the same time, Salikov himself admits that he has not reached such a scale of business. Some of these bastards were destined to fill a niche.

Andriy Guzairov

First and foremost an entrepreneur, Andriy worked in Zakhod, where he came across an idea for a power business in Russia. Having amassed significant starting capital in three years, he founded the CreditCardsOnline company. The project's sense was based on the formed database of the proposals of all banks in Russia for the issuance of credit cards. Today, 25% of the company’s shares belong to the Finam Global fund, and the enterprise itself may also host a number of Internet projects related to finance.

Andriy Romanenko

First to implement a successful idea, Andriy sold computer games, then produced polyethylene
packages, and the starting capital was earned on the prepared plastic cards. I wanted to dosit Pributkova on the right, but Romanenko realized that it is possible to create something more universal. There are limited options for the development of Qiwi payment terminals. At first, without making big bets on the project, it turned out to be completely successful. Already in 2013, there were over 65 million private equity capital and billions of dollars in capitalization.

Vsevolod Starikh

Perhaps they deceived us by saying that Shershnev is one of the poor people who, having started a business, started working at VNZ. Vsevolod Fear has surpassed him, having started his entrepreneurial activity, being a student in the graduating class of school. At the same time, we have clearly realized the need to earn our money, and the greatest opportunities for which we have access to the Internet. The start is simple: by creating your own website, buying a thousand USB cables in bulk and reselling them online through your resource. Once the business began to develop successfully, he named the online store “Sotmarket” and began selling a variety of accessories for mobile phones. Having accumulated enough money, further expanding your assortment with the phones themselves, and then with other inexpensive equipment.

In 2012, Rocivin sold a controlling stake to the IQ One Holdings fund, and the online store paid for up to $100 million. The ideologist and leader himself continues to independently monitor the comments that deprive clients of the resource. And there are up to 5 thousand buyers per day. Cholovik.

Dmytro Kibkalo

The formation of this enterprise is the avoidance of various outbursts. I want a whole category of people who are respected so that there are no lapses. And I can’t help but feel the stench of the radio. And on the right, it began with the fact that Dmytro Kibkalo, a member of the production center, decided to give his father the board game “Jackal” for National Day. The problem lies in the fact that this pirate game was already produced in the 70s, and today it is not on sale.

Todi Dmitro її having done so, he went to the clerks for the signet. It’s surprising that he didn’t go to the popular centers of the operational director and publish similar speeches in one copy and more. In some cases, this complexity played an important role in Dmitry’s further ability. We know the company, which was able to produce a minimum batch of such games - 100 copies. One wine was given to my father, as planned. Another 99 were sold in stages via the Internet, literally turning around the money in just a month. This was accomplished by Dmitry, who created the Mosigra company and began selling desktop games, and even in offline format. Today, the network of stores includes 17 retail outlets and 71 franchise projects. And why does Russia have a stink? Usyogo will allocate about 450 million rubles for Dmitro’s project.

Gevork Sargsyan

It is important to describe Sargsyan’s success. Having tried to achieve a simple understanding of the status of pirated products, the adaptation of foreign games to Russian realities. It’s true, such a crumb looks simple from the side. He was faced with the need to sign a contract with overseas igor distributors. To achieve this, you should include all available communication skills and slightly enhance your abilities and achievements. However, the contracts were canceled, the Innova company was created and the successful business today brings Gevork billions of rubles. The company is involved in about ten gaming projects, most notably Planet Side II, Lineage II, Aion and others.

Biographies of possible people in the world: TOP-3. Who are the leaders?

3. Another example of divine success without any, it would seem, chances for this kind of people - American businessman Sheldon Adelson. Sheldon is among the top twenty richest people in Forbes magazine. Adelson will further point out: the richest people on the planet are not those who were born and immediately ate the pellets of gold. Syn of a taxi driver, a newspaper seller in the 12th century, a ship reporter and a toiletries seller. Sheldon had a lot of trouble. The next American billionaire was born in his Jewish homeland. And, before speaking, he was recognized by the richest Jew.

According to the remaining data as announced, Sheldon Adelson’s net worth is 38 billion dollars. It's nasty, isn't it? The main income of the billionaire comes from his investments in the city: the life of casinos, hotels, shops, expo centers, etc.

2. We only write “Mark”, but you already understand who we are talking about. So, V did not show mercy. Up to the TOP 10 richest people in the world are also consumed by the founder of the Facebook social network, Mark Zuckerberg. They updated the information on Mark’s camp (word about pennies), and the capital became 51.6 billion dollars. Aje lads are only 32 years old! Before speaking, like many others on the list, there is a Jewish approach. Father is a dentist, mother is a psychiatrist. Mark has 3 sisters. How much do you think they could provide doctors for 4 children? While still a schoolboy, Mark developed the border version of the game “Rizik”, and when he studied at Harvard, he developed an internal social network, which he himself had not achieved before, but the boys came to the rescue: Dustin Moskovitz, Eduardo Saverin and others.

1. The ex-president of the Inditex company couldn’t resist our list of the TOP 10 richest people in the world. And you know, we put him first. While there are plenty of people who can multiply their income many times over, Amancio Ortega, we say, don’t “get ruined.” The woman herself lost the title of the richest person on the planet, according to Forbes magazine. And the axis of the year 2016 was estimated at 72.9 billion dollars. If you don’t tell us about the name of the company Indetex, then about the Zara brand. Axis Amancio is also the founder of this brand.

Father Amancio was a servant, and his mother, even better, was a servant. My family was so poor that the boy didn’t even finish high school, but after 13 years of age he started working hard at a shirt store. So, what did the 13-year-old boy think that in 2015 the ranking of the richest people on the planet would be different? I doubt it. Today, the billionaire invests the largest amount of money in tourism in Florida, Madrid, London, as well as in banks and tourism.

This is how the ranking of the richest people in the world looks like, who started their path to success from scratch. Are there no cordons? There really aren’t any. Just keep going and whatever you achieve will be achieved. Who knows, maybe you yourself will be listed in the Forbes rating in a couple of years.

"The Secret" presents a short rating of the most successful young businessmen in Russia. All participants are still under 40, the middle century is 34 years old. Kozhen the hero started a business from scratch using his own money. We were not included in the list of successful investors. The main criterion for the designated place is the consistency of the part of the enterprise in the company he created (and in several companies). The leader of the rating is Pavlo Durov. Telegram has already reached 100 million subscribers, and over the past few months, having earned a lot of important money, it has transformed itself into a full-fledged media platform based on communication. About those who appreciated the virtuousness of Telegram, like Durov, for our data, Volodya as a whole, read in the next Durov and a few more participants in the rating: spend a lot of time behind the cordon or live there peacefully, otherwise all the stinks are the citizens of Russia. Therefore, you won’t find on the list, for example, Sergiy Petrosov, the founder of JetSmarter. This “Uber for private jets” is worth $1.5 billion, but Petrosov’s homeland went from Russia to the United States, when the future entrepreneur was faced with certain fates. In addition, enterprises have not reached the rating; the size of their businesses can only be assessed indirectly. For these reasons, for example, there are no founders of Zeptolab Semyon and Yukhim Voinovykh. The creators of the games Cut the Rope and King of Thieves never bothered with the show, but for the rest of the time they went into the shadows. Finally, we were able to evaluate the business of Anton Cherepennikov, the founder of ESforce - the same “esports holding” that Alisher Usmanov invested $100 million in. We turned for information to databases (such as SPARK and Kommersant Kartoteka) and other open companies, the entrepreneurs themselves, their partners, colleagues, competitors, as well as investors and independent experts. If the company participating in the rating recently received investment, we evaluated it according to the parameters of the favor. In other cases, the multipliers were victorious before the companies went public and were already valued by us. The data provided in the rating is the result of evaluations by experts and the editorial staff. These reports are not official.

Pavlo Durov

The fierce Pavlo Durov says that channels on Telegram are read by 400 million people, and as a result, the statistics are small in essence: the word “channel” itself no longer requires explanation (accepted in Russia). The company launched Telegra.ph, the simplest system for publishing texts that does not require registration. Residents were deprived of the ability to play supplementary games. Telegram of the apolitical Durov gained great popularity among politicians. Russian officials have long trusted their secrets to a messenger, dismantled by the hulks of St. Kitts and Nevis, but not without a stink. The magazine l'Express, for example, noted that Telegram vikorizes French politicians of very heterogeneous views - from members of the ruling party to Marine Le Pen's National Front. The reason is fear of wiretapping. When Putin greeted the new elected president of the United States with an ordinary telegram, Durov wrote on his Twitter: “Think what you want about this person, without choosing the right way to greet Trump.” The ability to easily exchange encrypted messages is not only the pride of Telegram’s marketing achievement, but also Durov’s uncompromising position. The entire river has removed the channels of the “Islamic state” from the platform (it’s difficult to guess that in Russia its activity has been blocked) and simultaneously reserved its right – and the right of Galusi – to prevent the authorities from accessing communications systems. “Nowhere else in the history of mankind has there been such a wealth of information, and yet one can still say that it’s “going to hell,” he said in an interview with Fortune. At the end of the war with IG and the quarrel with the ranks of the powers that be, Durov enjoys the fact that hour after hour, with the help of additional retweets, the main competitor, WhatsApp, is being drowned. It is rare that people have such weakness that they allow themselves to be seen in the field.

Oleksandr Agapitov

“Funds are written once a week, because of the strategists’ propositions whose fate was not, but after I finished the executive program at UCLA and Stanford, I was firmly convinced that I could not imagine life without Xsolla,” Agapitov told The Secret. - I can’t sell with a partner, even partly, for example, Amazon. We recently moved to a new office and signed a lease agreement until 2026. I create a business for life and for myself, and not for sales or financing. What am I asking for.” 11 years ago, Permian Oleksandr Agapitov was discharged from the Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics of PDNDU - having taken a lot of truancy. The student wrote an algorithm for analyzing bookmaker sites in order to place winning bets, and launched an online gambling payment service. These projects took up the entire hour. The first service was not installed, and the other virus is from the Xsolla company, which creates payment and streaming tools for video game publishers and distributors. Xsolla supports nearly 700 payment systems, and its products are used by gaming industry giants such as Valve. Xsolla's headquarters are located in California, where Agapitov moved from his family in 2009. One of the offices still operates in Perm, the other in Seoul, and the third in Nicosia, Cyprus. The Russian Xsolla earned 4.79 billion rubles in 2015 (2014 - 3.48 billion, 2013 - 1.66 billion) - less than 20% of the global revenue of all Xsolla.

Eduard Iloyan

Yellow, Black and White

“Turn over “Tatchin’s Donkeys”,” fans of countless sitcoms like Yellow, Black and White write to Eduard Iloyan in social media. But the producer is clearly not up to the task: Moscow is about to finish filming the full-length film “Kitchen. The Last Battle” based on the popular TV series “Kitchen”. Iloyan calls this project significant for his studio. With each new season, the rating of “Kitchen” did not fall, as is often the case with long-running series, but instead, it grew. Fifthly, this is the most successful project in the entire history of the project and in the first day of its broadcast it became the first series in Moscow in the TNS rating (rating - 5.7%, part - 16%) and others in Russia. The first feature film of his project “Kitchen in Paris” was watched by over 2 million viewers in cinemas, and box office receipts were close to $14 million. So, Yellow, Black and White is now preparing another feature-length film for release, and in the spring they will launch the series “G” on the STS TV channel hotel " Eleon" is a spin-off of "Kitchen". However, the life of the production company is based not only on the “Kitchen” project: in 2016, Yellow, Black and White produced the comedy tale “The Remaining Bogatyr” from Disney in Russia. The creators promise a premiere in 2017 and are sure that the whole world will marvel at them. The budget of the film, according to producers, is close to 345 million rubles. The financing of the film by the Russian Disney and the Iloyan studio was poured out. At some point it seemed that the hours of sitcoms and sketch shows (“Give Youth”, “One for All”) were over for Iloyan and now Yellow, Black and White would get busy with long-form films. In the run-up to 2016, Iloyan promised to film 20 new series for various TV channels: “When there was a crisis, we were respected for going to the movies better. Let’s face it, the market is growing again,” explained the producer. In 2006, the Yellow, Black and White company was founded by top-notch caveners Eduard Iloyan, Vitaliy Shlyappo and Oleksiy Trotsyuk. The name of the studio, as conceived by its creators, may symbolize the friendship of peoples - all three producers started at RUDN University and played at KVK for their team.

Illya Popov

The successful Smishariki franchise appeared in the early 2000s. Until now, Illya Popov, the main beneficiary of the Riki Group (which includes, among others, the Riki Production Center, Marmalade Media and the German company Smeshariki) has engaged in the production of computer games. Popov’s company had already managed to earn a few hundred games before the robot found a game about the enchanted world of the lass. Over the years, all the realities from the Land of the Sweet have become smeshariki and have become popular not only in Russia, but also in foreign countries - especially in Europe, the USA and China - they are called Kikoriki. The “Smishariki” and “Fixiki” brands are proving successful; the turnover of products released by licensees amounts to hundreds of millions of dollars. Two full-length cartoons about “Smisharikov” have already been released – in 2011 and 2016. Next up is another picture and cartoon based on “Fixies”. Before speaking, resentment will be shown again in US cinemas - the 2016 film distributor Shout! Factory has revoked the rights to its expansion. Popov says that his company is constantly looking for new heroes and new ideas to create other franchises. We have already voted that we will soon present two new projects. The first is a cartoon series for the dinosaur Rika, the other is a cartoon and series “Children's World”, the main characters of which will be “toys, as seen by the Russian gazer”.

Kostyantin Kalinov

Aviasales is the No. 1 meta-search engine for air tickets in Russia. Behind the border, you also operate under the JetRadar brand. Once, already, melted, little hto Pam'yata, the project Viris Iz Blog about the rise in the height of the Kosyan.com, the Yaki Kolishniy Pitersky Militzinin Kostyantin Viv Naprikinz 2000s (Kosyan-Yigo Shkilna Prіzvisko). Since 2010, Aviasales headquarters have been located in Phuket, Thailand, where the company employs 150 employees and its chief executive resides permanently. In 2014, Kalinov’s family received $10 million from iTech Capital, a fund that took a minority stake in Aviasales. No one else invested in Kalinov’s company. Recently interview Oleg Tinkov, a businessman valued Aviasales at $250 million. Competitors and independent experts, fed by “Secret”, respect that the company actually costs two times less (based on the fact that the Chinese travel service trip accidentally paid $1.7 for Skyscanner billion). Aviasales creates dataless information drives, but they rarely have a direct bearing on the company’s business. It’s just that Kalinov is one of the most praised scandalists on the Runet. The main goal of the company is situational marketing. One of the biggest scandals of our history is the public dispute between Kalinov and the head editor of Wonderzine Olga Strakhovskaya. It all started with a post in the Aviasales group, which was dedicated to the separation of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. Actor, in whose name the post was written, saying that he will now have the opportunity to raise a “masovka” (that was the name of the accepted children of the bet) from the grandmothers of this world. To Strakhovskaya’s obsession, however, expressed not entirely correctly, Kalinov reacted with husky and sexist images. However, it is impossible to say that Kalinov doesn’t give a damn about his image. We must take care of our outer appearance, and last year representatives asked “Secret” to replace the photo of the employee in the rating, because we looked different.

Anton Cherepennikov

Citadel, ESforce

Anton Cherepennikov became obsessed with computer games 20 years ago and, in the early 2000s, achieved a bronze medal at World Cyber Games Russia. Since 2005, he has been involved in business: first selling Blackberry phones, then selling telecommunications equipment. In 2010, Cherepennikov grew up with friends from the eSports team Virtus.pro. The team urgently demanded funding, and Cherepennikov agreed to produce it. The more money you spend, the more money you make in eSports, not on teams, but on tournaments. Over a period of time, Virtus.pro has grown into a structure that organizes international marketing and unifies websites for 40 million gamers from all over the world. Cherepennikov had no doubt that it would be possible to create an international empire, otherwise there would be a need for investment. Through well-known investors at USM Holdings Alisher Usmanov. After recent negotiations, Usmanov’s fund invested $100 million. Cybersport assets were merged under the auspices of the Cypriot company Esforce Holding: Virtus.pro club; 180 Internet resources that will ensure the collection of 80% of watching eSports broadcasts from Russia and SND (mainly Cybersport.ru, RuHub and Storm Studio); tournament organizer Epic Esports Events. $20 million went to strengthen the holding's position in the market, including the purchase of media rights to the Na'Vi club, a 66% stake in the German club SK Gaming and the establishment of the largest e-sports arena in Moscow in Moscow. According to ESforce representative Mikita Bokarev, the holding is already occupying another place in the world with capitalization. First up is the German Electronic Sports League. Cherepennikov spoke in an interview for this rating, and previously told Groshi magazine that in 2015 the company earned $3 million, and in 2017 it wanted to increase to $40 million. “Secret” estimates ESforce’s turnover at $20 – 25 million. This estimate is confirmed by Dzherel, who knows the structure of the holding. A portion of Cherepennikov Gravtsi market is estimated at 50%.

Petro Kutis

OneTwoTrip allows you to book tickets for 800 airlines, including low-cost airlines, and rooms for 750,000 hotels around the world. Recently, OneTwoTrip launched a service for organizing appointments for companies. Before OneTwoTrip, Petro Kutis developed another similar service – Anywayanyday. In the fall of 2015, the Swedish fund Vostok New Ventures invested $4 million from OneTwoTrip, and in the fall of 2016 it invested another $2.5. Now the fund’s portfolio has close to 8% of Kutis’s company. In 2015, the businessman lost the operational control of OneTwoTrip and began to create a new service, which he called FinalPrice. There is already a website that announces the next step: “This is where your searches end and your savings begin.” Of course, we are talking about the club of mandrivniks, whose members, in exchange for contributions, obtain the most attractive proposals for housing rent, transport, or the price of tickets at the road. First, Kutis learned about FinalPrice, when he met with the founder of Aviasales, Kostyantin Kalinov - the entry was broadcast on the Internet. “This will be a hit,” Kutis said. “My feet will be in my mouth,” Kalinov said after a moment.

Ruslan Fazliev

A native of the Bashkir town of Zhovtnevy, Ruslan Fazliev went into business to be called the daughter of the great Ulyanovsk businessman, and then entered the market as one of the most successful Inter designers no-shops for Facebook - Ecwid. Over the last five years, the company received $6.5 million in investments. According to Fazliev, business is growing by 50% quickly. In 2016, the Ecwid membership base exceeded 1 million people. More phases of Volodya are often found in X-Cart - a folding and protruding online store constructor. The project, according to the businessman, is growing by 10% per river. The sales of online stores created with his help will generate $2 billion in revenue. Another asset of Fazliev is a small plot of land in the Buferna Bay (Lifehacker.ru) property. Most of Fazliev’s clients are in the United States, and he spends a lot of time at the company’s California office. Living there is already growing in Ulyanovsk, de Fazliev started: before conferences and meetings with partners, he went for a run to the ocean, and in Fatherlandism he had fight with spiders.

Maxim Bilonogov and Oleg Shlepanov

"Maksim"

For $45.6 million

The Kurgan taxi service "Maxim" is widely popular in the regions. His classmates Maxim Bilonogov and Oleg Shlepanov were born in 2003. Since then, the business has grown from the control room at Shadrinsky to 159 full-time branches, 21 of which are behind the cordon. Whose company changed its logo, updated its subsidiary, sold its first franchises and became the author of a unique record: “Maxim” has completed a trip with real taxi contracts in Russia - from Izobilny (Stavropol Territory) to Ussuriya ka (Primorsk Territory). With three passengers, they traveled 9,200 km in nine days and earned 120,000 rubles. Belonogov took part in the trans-Arctic expedition. He protested the wheeled all-terrain vehicle "Burlak" near Baydaratskaya Guba - a car that was designed in such a way that it could reach the geographical Pole and turn back to Eurasia without throwing fire and provisions. This Burlak expedition will be destroyed in 2019.

Mikola Yevdokimov

SeoPult, AppInTop

Mikola Yevdokimov, a thermophysicist in training (MDTU named after Bauman), looked at the prospects of direct SEO optimization ten years ago. Together with friends - Igor Artemenko and Pavel Yushkevich - they joined the SeoPult company. The market has no excuses: you can bring your site to the top ranks in Yandex or Google for less than $50. Seopult, having squandered 70% of the market, won the war mercilessly. Such success captivated investors: in 2012, the iTech Capital fund invested $10 million in the company and withdrew a minority stake (part of it is not disclosed). In 2014, the company completed another round of investments: iTech Capital injected another $10-30 million (according to market participants’ estimates). But then, through the fall in the ruble exchange rate and the crisis, the growth in revenues increased - most of the company’s clients are located in Russia. Nini part of Mikoli Evdokimov at Seopult will be, in his words, 20%. The company's revenues, health insurance companies' latest achievements and the growing number of investors will amount to 1.5-2 billion rubles. The multipliers on this market are estimated at a ratio of three to five. Apparently, the average valuation of the company is close to $120 million. SeoPult is not Evdokimov’s only business. Three reasons for this are that the entrepreneur began to actively engage in mobile marketing and develop a service for promoting mobile add-ons AppInTop. Yevdokimov estimates his share in this company at 63%. Another small stake belongs to co-investor Evdokimov and the Run Capital fund, and one of its shareholders (and co-investor of iTech Capital) Andriy Romanenko is pleased with the directors of AppInTop. The benefit from Run Capital was valued at $6 million.

Boris Batin and Oleksandr Dunaev

33 rocks and 29 rocks

For $37.5 million

The creators of the ID Finance holding (developing the microfinance Internet service MoneyMan) Boris Batin and Oleksandr Dunaev met in Great Britain: Batin started at Cambridge, and Dunaev at the Royal College of London. Then they started working at Deutsche Bank and Renaissance Capital. In 2015, MoneyMan was ranked 12th MFO in Russia by portfolio size, and in 2016, Batina and Dunaeva’s service took eighth place. From 2013 to 2015, the Russian market grew from 71.79 million to 1.07 billion rubles. In this case, the company operates behind the border - in Georgia, Spain, Kazakhstan and Poland, as well as in Brazil (from the beginning). ID Finance's global revenue is estimated at $20.8 million last year and $72 million for the current year. In 2015, ID Finance withdrew $6 million from the venture fund Emery Capital and businessman Vadim Dimov. ID Finance has already received $12 million in investments. Unfortunately, Batin and Dunaev told The Secret that “international private-equity funds” valued their business at $200 million. Dunaev’s family lives in London. He leads the public on a daily basis, and divides his everyday life between Moscow and Barcelona. At least two per month flies to the extremes where MoneyMan operates.

Fedir Ovchinnikov

"Dodo Pizza"

Fedir Ovchynnikov opened his first pizza delivery service in Siktivkar in 2011, today there are already 146 pizza restaurants (136 points operated by franchisees), and by the end of the year he plans to open another 32. Iriv, that the Dodo Pizza measure can earn 1 billion karbovantsіv, prote їy tse went away. The goal for this river is 3 billion rubles. Judging by the names of the franchise, there will also be a Vikonian. Ovchinnikov's franchisees operate in nine countries. Since 2016, “Dodo Pizza” has been launched in the USA. “You guys, the ones you work for, are pure God,” one of his upcoming competitors in America told Ovchinnikov. “With such success, you could take your pennies, go to the casino and bet them on grain.” Timing is no less, the delivery service in the city of Oxford (Mississippi) opened up in the winter and went to zero in five months. In 2017, the Ovchinnikov family plans to open at least three points in America. Dodo got the co-founder of the 2GIS company, Dmitry Sisoev, as an investor. Little is known about the replacement. Ovchinnikov seems to own 61.86% of the shares. Sisoev, in his words, valuing the company at $50 million. Direct competitors, with whom Ovchinnikov is often prominent in the public sphere, anonymously told “Sekret” that, in their estimation, “Dodo Pizza” cannot Tuvati over $35 million.

Evgen Demin and Olena Bilous

For $20.5 million

Man and squad

“The leaf fall of 2000 seemed sleepy and cold - I remembered it well, because we had to cut off our well-known company’s sticks,” - Evgen Demin begins his drawing sheet for Splat buyers. After 16 years, he and his team founded a company - the largest Russian manufacturer of toothpaste. On the Russian pharmacy market, the brand ranks third after Rocs and Lacalut products. However, this is not the main sales channel - in the first places there are supermarkets and shops. This Splat is sold in 50 countries (16 of them were successful). Splat does not focus on one brand. At the same time, Evgen Demin and Olena Bilous are also releasing household chemicals BioMio, children's cosmetics Lallum Baby and other products for caring for the mouth Iney and Innova. This stink has changed to a new product for the company - shampoos and hair balms under the Heya Luxury brand. When Evgen Demin and Olena Bilous were thinking about dividing the duties: one would do the work, and the other would do the work. Ale Bilous did not play the role of a housewife for many days. After the birth of children's nutrition, the diet of Bilous from business was again updated, and it was decided by another authority - Evgen Demin went to Athos before Elder Yanis, who recommended depriving everything like this.

Today I would like to tell you the stories of billionaires who did not give up and found their place in life: billionaires without light, young billionaires, billionaires after 40

We all want to achieve success, but we need riches from those who, with their evidence and butt, can infect the bastards to reach such heights. Sometimes, in moments when you give up, when you feel like nothing will come of it and everything is lost, when you run out of patience and determination, it’s enough to marvel at those who have been in such a situation, but have not given up and yet you can realize your dream and find your place in life. From whom you learn about the lives of billionaires who were able to reach their destination without losing sight, who were able to earn capital after 40 years, about younger billionaires and philanthropists.

Each person wants to achieve success and know his place in life, but not for each person. Whoever underestimates the risks and wastes pennies, whoever has no patience, whoever chooses the wrong way. There are many reasons for failure, but there is one simple fact: a lot of people, due to their failures, feel strange situations and are alienated, but not to themselves. The very analysis of power benefits is also the key to success. Apply those who have achieved success - this is proof.

ten billionaires without much light;

ten young entrepreneurs-investors who earned billions on their own;

“It’s never too late to start” - investors who became billionaires after 40 years;

the most generous philanthropic investors.

The skin from them deserves great respect and the skin from them is unique in its own way.

Part I - Ten billionaires without any illumination

Each of the participants in this rating has its own unique share. Although you care about what you need to start, it’s tedious and important to start your business. For those who cared about penniless childhood, they had to forget about the light in principle. Maybe I left the VNZ in the middle of the road, but maybe I didn’t finish school (not to mention I’m looking for light). According to the statistics, about 37% of billionaires have not completed higher education, about 24% have not completed the necessary documents about education. However, it didn’t bother them to realize their dreams and make their way to the TOP of the richest people in the world. Wait a minute, a good butt for inheritance.

1. Joe Lewis (born 1937) ($5 billion).

Can Lewis be called a leader? Tsikave food. Even after 15 years of age, he left school, giving priority to the family business. At that time, his father took up catering and Lewis began helping him. Once the business was transferred to his hand, it would no longer be possible to obtain light - he would already have a very bad practical acceptance knowledge. Later, you can sell your business and engage in foreign exchange transactions and investments. And a wave of confusion will flow from the ongoing investigation into the Bahamas. Today there are over 120 restaurants and the Tottenham Hotspur football club. The billionaire is also known to have been a partner with George Soros in the attack on the Bank of England.

2. Richard Branson (born 1950) ($5.1 billion).

Until the age of 8, Britain's most famous billionaire could neither read nor write, suffering from dyslexia. Already in childhood, Branson showed through his actions that it is important not to burn the bastards. Having not completed his studies, he left school at the age of 16. The school director then marveled at the water: “You will either become a rich person, or you will get into trouble.” Having dropped out before school, he started his first business – Student magazine. To get your readers hooked, start publishing new articles about John Lennon, Mick Jagger and other stars. Then he founded a record company, calling it Virgin. Today, Virgin is a brand that attracts nearly 400 companies of various profiles, from air transportation and telecommunications, to space tourism and video games.

Before the speech, here it would be possible to guess about another rich British citizen, Roman Abramovich, with a fortune of approximately 9 billion pounds sterling. It also does not provide much insight through the lack of cravings before starting. But his position is more vulnerable to connections with Russian oligarchs and politicians, as well as to a number of employment schemes.

3. Paul Allen (born 1953) (US$20.1 billion).

Allen was born in this same store and from the beginning of school and began to immerse himself in technology and electronics. Programming started in 6th grade and later became a major factor - having studied two years at the University of Washington, he left the university and became one of the co-founders of Microsoft.

The first host properties began to emerge in 12 rocks. During the holidays, by mail, we understand that new residents of the area would like to subscribe to newspapers, after which they created a kind of network of informants - friends, who informed them about the new arrivals. After entering the University of Texas, I planned to become a doctor, rather than leaving it and starting a small company that collected computers. Today he created the Dell corporation - one of the largest in the world in this segment.

5. Li Kashin (born 1928) (33 billion US dollars).

In the spring of 2018, the 89-year-old billionaire, one of the richest people in Asia, announced that he was retiring from business, ending his career. And why should I write? Having been born to a poor family of a teacher, his father suffered through tuberculosis for 14 years and eventually left school. Working at the factory from the production of plastic sheets, for 7 years they were able to accumulate pennies, which were spent on the creation of a similar small production. Success was brought to him by the lack of comfort, which fell in price due to political instability in Hong Kong. Today, the two main billionaire companies account for approximately 15% of the capitalization of the Hong Kong stock market. Kashin also invests in logistics, retail trade, biotechnology, machinery, and telecommunications.

6. François Pinault (born 1936) ($33.8 billion).

Everything that the French billionaire has from documents about the lighting is a driving license. It was not appropriate for him to learn from his childhood, so he was embarrassed to endure the misery of his classmates through low-level activities. My father got into the timber trade and adopted this idea from Pino. At 27 Rocks, having become distant friends, he starts his first company (although the love did not last long). You should also get to know Jacques Chirac, who will help you a lot. The cream of the tree and the production of paper, Pino engaged in the production of cars and vehicles to Africa. Today there will also be an auction booth at Christie's and the Rennes football club.

7. Larry Ellison (born 1944) ($57.4 billion).

Ellison's daughters tried to find light and resentment to no avail. He immediately decided to leave the University of Illinois after two fatalities. Then I spent a whole semester at the University of Chicago. Obidva razi throwati VNZ yogo zmushuvali obstavini. However, this did not lead me to start the company from developing software and a DBMS, which today is known under the name Oracle.

8. Mark Zuckerberg (born 1984) ($77.6 billion).

After the advent of the Internet in the early 2000s, hundreds of technology startups began to emerge. However, apart from the garish lining, the stench could not be distinguished by anything, and in 2000, most of them died after the collapse of the dot-coms. Zuckerberg didn't mind. The idea of creating a social barrier has become a kind of dream for the upcoming billionaire. And for the sake of this project, it happened to be deprived of Harvard University, and after 2 years it became available to everyone on the Internet.

9. Amancio Ortega (born 1936) ($96.4 billion).

The future billionaire's childhood was unforgivable. My father worked in a salvage yard, my mother was a servant, and my family was desperately short of money. At 13 rocks, Ortega was hesitant to say goodbye to school and joke about work. After enjoying the best shirts I could at the store, I began to finish making clothes and selling them. Later, the factory will open for sewing robes and women's whites, but it won't go out of business after the great manager gets rid of the batch of goods. Todi Ortega plans to sell clothes in a number of stores that create what we know today under the Zara brand. Today, Amancio also invests in inviolability.

10. Bill Gates (born 1955) ($93.3 billion).

Like Paul Allen, Bill was looking forward to studying at Harvard University in order to fully devote himself to Microsoft. Certain subjects were definitely not given to him, and after 2 years he was expelled from the university. And as soon as it appeared, everything was even better.

Also to this list would be added the American billionaire Kirk Kerkonian (1917-2015). Having been born to a family of immigrants, after the 8th grade he was afraid to leave school and become an auto mechanic. During the war, they transported bombers from Canada to the British Isles, earning starting capital. The first great business was the trade in airliners and the creation of charter flights, which were rare at that time.

Part II – “It’s never too late to start” – investors who became billionaires after 40 years

We continue our motivating rating with a list of people who earned their first billion after 40 years. Not everything comes immediately, often patience, effortlessness and directness bring the same result, which is not the sense of life. Although from today's rating there are only up to 40 people who know their place in life and have achieved success. And although I have easily lived in a business empire for more than half of my life, I have systematically developed ideas in my life. The experience of these people shows that it is not at all bad to find out for yourself and take up the work you love.

1. Ray Kroc (1902-1984).

The father of the future billionaire died early, in one version, without surviving the nervous shock after bankruptcy during the Great Depression. Ray himself hardly thought that we would become aware of it. Up to 50 years of age, he had diabetes and arthritis, his thyroid gland was often removed, and his cervix was removed, and his job as a traveling salesman (sales of paper cups and mixers) did not lead to progress. In 1952, he met two brothers who ran a fast-food restaurant and set about developing the business directly. In 1955, he opened the first McDonald's restaurant, in 1961 he completely bought out the new rights and created a whole new era.

2. Henry Ford (1863-1947).

He founded the same company at the dawn of the automobile industry, producing the cheapest cars. Ford was one of the first to launch a folding conveyor at its plant in 1913, becoming an innovator in this industry. But everything started out smoothly. In 1879, Ford launched a car project that had never been prompted. In 1903, a lawsuit was initiated against Ford for violating copyrights, which involved 8 fates, but ended with Ford's victory. Since 1908, with the release of the Ford T model, the company has achieved great success.

3. Michael Bloomberg (born 1942).

At 24 years old, the billionaire from New York spent 15 years working as a trader at Solomon Brothers. After enjoying the company of the new ruler, it was shortened, but not over. In 1981, the information agency Bloomberg was created, which online analyzed the state of financial markets. The agency's "trick" was based on the development of computer technologies, which few people felt allowed to occupy a niche in this sector.

4. Sam Walton (1918-1982).

It’s unlikely that Walton suspected that he would take up hospitality. Until 1942, he worked in small estates: he sold magazines, raised rabbits for sale, and worked as a manager. In 1942, the army was destroyed by the US Army and after the end of the war, it was realized that life was required, and the system of light had already changed fundamentally. He tries his hand at various trades, renting a store in a small town. This is where power sales technologies begin to stagnate: wholesale without intermediaries (without intermediaries) purchasing goods, promotional discounts, work on weekends. 1962 Rocky Walton opened his first store, he was 44 years old. By 1979, there were already over 220 stores, and today it is called Wal-Mart.

5. Reed Hoffman (born 1967).

Having died on the Internet for a long time, and just after the first year, he created SicialNet.com among 30 people - an analogue, a prototype of social networking, a dating site. The project was launched in 1999 by Hoffman from New Wiyshov. Ale, don't hesitate. Until 2002, the rock was purchased from PayPal, and continued until the destruction of eBay at the warehouse of directors. It was only in 2002 that the family was able to implement their idea of a social network, literally 2 times ahead of Mark Zuckerberg, and later becoming one of the investors in Facebook in its early stages of development. Today, this project is known as one of the leading business social networks on LinkedIn.

6. George Soros (born 1930).

You can criticize this person at any time, but it does not take into account the fact that he has achieved a lot. And in what way (to predict the same attack on the Bank of England) - food for a friend. In the field of investment, George has lost a lot of money - in 26 years, and even then he was able to promote the great idea of earning money in international arbitrage. Just in 39 years Soros became a power fund and only in 1973 he created the power fund Quantum Fund. Today he is one of the richest people in the world.

7. "Colonel" Garland Sanders (1890-1980).

As a child, this person had everything, even more than becoming a volunteer in the army. Sanders worked in many fields for up to 40 years: a fireman at the mine, a farmer, a miner. And more than 40 years ago, they started preparing herbs from chickens, selling them to those who shopped at the local gas station. A unique recipe that allows you to cook the chicken faster, lower in a frying pan, becomes a crossroads for Sanders in the great financial world. In the 1950s, the famous image began to form: an aristocratic white suit, a corporate style and a beard. This image will become the image of the KFC company, as they have undergone serious testing and have passed with flying colors.

8. Momofuku Ando (1910–2007).

In one version, in 2000, an experiment was carried out in Japan: respondents were asked to name the main Japanese wine of the 20th century. As if it weren’t wonderful, the first place in the incubation took place... Lokshina’s delicious preparation! And Ando herself, in 48 years, pioneered the technology of its production.

9. Amancio Ortega (born 1936).

A billionaire who has already taken the fate of the last rating, having earned his first great capital only after 40 years. Childhood was difficult because finding starting capital was not easy. Being engaged in the production of knitwear, Amancio has competitive advantages and is therefore able to increase production. The first factory appeared when I was 37 years old (1972). And only in 1975, success was brought to us by the creation of a government-controlled sales plan, which was an innovation at that time.

10. Mary Katherine Wagner (Esh) (1918-2001).

One of the poor entrepreneurial wives who could create an entire business empire. In 1939, she became a sales manager (sales representative), hoping to increase sales of home furnishings through presentations. In 45 years, tired of the hired work, she begins to create a power business by purchasing a recipe for lotions for skin care. Its business philosophy is focused on the client, the idea of sampling and effective marketing techniques allows the business to grow for the entire corporation. Today Mary Kay employs over 200 cosmetic products and employs over 1,200 people at the company's headquarters.

Part III - Ten young entrepreneurs-investors who earned billions on their own

Many billionaires became like this to their fathers, who deprived them of their pennies for the commandment or gave them away a share in the business. These people mostly blame their fathers for the rare blame (for example, Tom Persson, who chose a career as an actor, or DJ Julio Mario Santo Domingo III). And there are those who managed to earn their first billion even before the age of 40. And this evidence deserves honor.

Back in 2015, Theranos was valued at $4.5 billion. USA. Elizabeth Holmes was 31 years old at that time. An intellectual scientist, she was engaged in the development of medicinal preparations. It is unknown how many times the company survived without covering up the fallout, the result revealed that most of the test results were lies. The SEC immediately sidelined Holmes from management, and Theranos is now actually on the verge of bankruptcy. The results of the participants in our rating are successful.

1. John Collison (28 years, $1.1 billion).

“Irish genius” is what they call Collison, who earned $5 million in 17 years. USA for sale Auctomatic, which is engaged in the development of tools for eBay. In 2010, thanks to the support of Elon Musk and Peter Thiel, Stripe founded the company, which is developing a solution for receiving and processing electronic transactions. In 2016, Collison was recognized as the youngest billionaire in the world, having earned a billion dollars. USA itself.

2. Bobby Murphy (30 years, $3 billion).

Another young billionaire who follows the path of the technological abyss. Having recently begun to create other projects at VNZ, together with Evan Shpigel (about 2.1 billion US dollars) he is creating the Snapchat messenger. It is used for exchanging photos and videos, but the trick is that the information is available for a short hour, after which it is deleted automatically. The idea quickly caught on.

3. Drew Houston (35 years, $3.2 billion).

And again, a person is becoming a billionaire, because at the peak of the popularity of platforms, services and add-ons, he is creating a unique product that is in high demand. In 2007, Houston launched Dropbox - a working space for saving and processing data, which allows you to organize the work and quickly find the files you need.

4. Nathan Blecharzik (33 years), Joe Gebbia (36 years) and Brian Chesky (36 years) - $3.8 billion. USA in skin.

And the axis of these guys can be politely called the culprit of this rating. In 2008, they created a world platform for connecting Airbnb landlords and landlords around the world. The idea was immediately appreciated by mandrvniki and those who, according to the robotic confusion of terms, lived in other places and countries. Over the course of 10 years, the billionaires received approximately $3.4 billion. USA investment, during the same hour the site received nearly 150 million visitors, nearly 30 million received services, and the database contains nearly 1.5 million listings of booths, apartments for both long-term and short-term randy.

5. Jack Dorsey (41 rik, 4.8 billion US dollars).

The idea for creating Twitter came to us at the time of the founding of the Missouri University of Science and Technology. Working as a programmer at the dispatch service, we understand the need for a meeting exchange of information. In 2000, Dorsi created a platform for sending courier and taxi services via the Internet. And in 2008, we requested our main service – Twitter. It’s notable that Dorsey was first interested in launching her line of jeans and, in her youth, was respected by an unprecedented and easy-to-important person.

6. Robert Pera (40 rocks, $5.1 billion).

Equal to Apple for its ambitions, Pera said that Apple is a great company, but it would like to achieve greater success sooner. The corporation's work allowed us to quickly understand the prospects of drone-free technologies. In 2009, sales of this model of autonomous systems for organizing drone-free communications began. Today, Ubiquiti is one of the leaders in the development of drone-free ownership, which includes an approach to organizing the process of selling goods. Meta Robert - to achieve the same successes that Cisco and Huawei achieved.

7. Travis Kalanick (41 rik, 6.3 billion US dollars).

In 1998, Kalanik created the file sharing service Scour. In 2000, under the pressure of court calls for copyright infringement, the project was declared bankrupt. In 2001, Roci vin asked a friend to try the creation of a peer-to-peer file-sharing network, which successfully sells in 2007 Roci. In 2009, the family created the third serious project of Uber, which will bring him fame. True, through a series of internal conflicts in 2017, Kalanik’s family will be deprived of the position of the kerivnik, who was already appointed to Wikonan: Vin is a billionaire.

8. Jan Koum (42 rocks, $7.5 billion).

The upcoming billionaire was born near Kiev and emigrated from his parents to the United States in 1992. The university did not even finish, having given priority to the robot in Yahoo, operating from 2000 to 2007. In 2009, the company created one of the smallest instant messengers, WhatsApp, for $19 billion. Facebook buys the US in 2014. Until the beginning of 2018, Jan Kum continued to develop the messenger, and then began to worry about going through differences with kerivnitstvo.

9. Dustin Moskovitz (34 rocks, $15.6 billion).

Becoming a yomu has brought him a share in the development of the social network Facebook, where until 2008 he took on the role of another person. The decision to create my work project prompted me to leave Facebook (albeit, saving a small part of the shares) and create the Asana company, which focuses on the technology and innovation market (creating add-ons for project management for small companies anyyah).

10. Mark Zuckerberg (34 years, $77.6 billion).

The last article already spoke briefly about this person. Having placed his bets on the development of social measures and sacrificed his endeavors for this, Zuckerberg did not show mercy. Wanting to make Facebook run wild in 2018, and competitors step on their heels, Mark becomes a billionaire.

Part IV - The Most Generous Investor-Philanthropists

What does a person need who has everything they want? What do people need when they already have billionaires, peace of mind, yachts, islands and at the last hour? For people who maintain their billionaire status, it makes no difference in principle whether they have 5 billion more or less, they need fame, recognition and respect. People's skin wants people to remember these good things, people's skin wants cinnamon for marriage.

1. Gordon and Betty Moore($289 million).

Intel's chief executive and his team have been constantly promoting research in science, investing almost the same amount (adjusted for inflation) for over 15 years. With a huge sum of victims, the Moore couple is among the TOP 10 most generous investors in the world. The most money seems to be spent on science, the defense of Dovkill, and the training of personnel. Also, for this shell there will be the largest telescope in the world.

2. James Simons($293 million).

A mathematician, an academician, a trader who, having made money managing hedge funds, continues to invest money in lighting and medical projects in various countries in his 80 years. The TOP spends money rarely, giving priority to several important projects.

3. Paul Allen($341 million).

Founder of Microsoft ranked among the TOP philanthropists in the world since 2011. The priority direction of financing is scientific research and, first of all, neurology. He created an institute for brain transplantation, where he invested nearly 500 million dollars. The USA is deprived at the time of creation.

4. Sim'ya Walton($454 million).

The family of the founder of Wal-Mart chose a high-level finance profile. In 2011, a museum of American mysticism was launched, where nearly $1.3 billion was invested at the start. USA.

5. Charles (Chuck) Feeney($482 million).

“A billionaire without a billionaire” is the name of the founder of Duty Free Shoppers, one of the poor who gave pennies to charity for his living. You will continue to collect passive income, but will immediately give it away. In his words, I need as many pennies as I can spend. To select charitable projects, you must travel around the world, especially becoming familiar with any project that will require a grant.

6. George Soros($531 million).

It is important for the Open Society Foundation to promote awareness, including grants to scholars, students, and graduates. Another direct benefit to the fund is the financing of organizations, what are the rights of citizens. Soros is often criticized for promoting PHI, hiding behind the defense of freedom of speech and insight, but buying them behind the fact.

7. Michael Bloomberg(600 million US dollars).

New York's largest government news agency has donated money to more than 850 organizations that prioritize health and wellness projects.

8. Bill and Melinda Gates($2.142 billion).

In 1999, Gates recently received a charitable foundation, which at an early stage supported various types of technological developments (platforms, startups). A later fund will finance medical developments to help third world countries cope with hunger (humanitarian aid). In 2010, Buffett and Buffett created a kind of club called the “Oath of Giving,” in which participants pledge to donate at least 50% of their money to charity.

9. Warren Buffett($2.861 billion).

We have friendly and partnership ties from the Gates homeland that support their foundation. Having already transferred over 30 billion dollars from the sum. The United States wrote a commandment obliging everyone to give 99% of their income to charitable foundations.

Great fact. Not all billionaires and millionaires are going to burn their hearts before the “Oath of Granting”; not everyone wants to part with their pennies. Mark Zuckerberg and Carlos Slim also periodically fell down from the ranking of the most generous philanthropists, but soon the list of the most generous billionaires does not change.

I would like to finally tell everyone the truth: You don’t become popular with millionaires and billionaires - you become them. So go for it :)

If you want to make your way to the top of Olympus without an accepting streak, it will not be easy, but the top officials are deprived of directness, flexibility and the ability to establish contacts. It is likely that more than a dozen fates will be spent in search of one’s place in life. But what one person started can be continued by her children. The family business grows quickly in a great corporation, but there is another way. It’s enough to stay ahead of the curve: explore promising directions, don’t be afraid to take risks within reasonable limits, and find those who will be useful to people. I strongly encourage you to know your place in life, to find your favorite pastime that will bring you income. And if you have already achieved great success, share your knowledge in the comments!
