Vladimir Lisin
Russia's richest is a proletarian success story. First job was as a mechanic in a coal mine. After college in Siberia worked as steelworker. In 1991, when his boss was appointed minister of metallurgy, Lisin came with him to Moscow. In 1992 he joined up with tough group of traders called Trans-World Group; they came to dominate Russia's aluminum and steel exports. He managed the factories, and when the partners went their separate ways in 2000, Lisin got majority stake in Russia's giant Novolipetsk steel mill as his share. Constructed one of the largest shooting-range complexes in Europe—Lisya Nora, which is close to Moscow. Publishes the loss-making newspaper Gazeta; last summer bought the business-news radio station Business FM
