RUSSIA'S RICHEST DYNASTIES SEE $2 BLN WINDFALL IN 2017 FORBES LIST

By
RussNeft Chairman of the Board of Directors Mikhail Gutseriev Sergei Savostyanov

The 10 richest families in Russia each earned more than $2 billion in the past year to amass a collective fortune of $27 billion, Forbes Russia said in its latest ranking published Wednesday, with Russia's top three clans retaining their spots from last year.

Oligarch Mikhail Gutseriev's family topped the list with $9.91 billion shared between five family members, including new business partners, Said Gutseriev and Bilan Uzhakhov, who are his son and nephew.

Gutseriev's Safmar Group has in recent months purchased household goods store Eldorado and a majority stake in consumer electronics retailer M.video, with plans to merge the two chains.
Arkady and Igor Rotenberg took the second spot in the Forbes ranking, boasting a $4.2 billion fortune that they share with their sons Igor and Roman.
Last year, the publication estimated the Rotenberg brothers earned $2.8 billion. Forbes attributes their success despite U.S. and EU sanctions to government contracts, including for the construction of the Kerch Bridge to Crimea.

Brothers Alexei and Dmitry Ananyev round out Forbes's top-3 with $2.7 billion equally divided between the bankers.
The two sons of former Tatarstan leader Mintimer Shaimiyev and his grandson are the 4th richest family in Russia with a combined fortune of $2.215 billion.

They are closely followed in 5th place by Dagestan's Magomedov brothers, who expanded into the oil industry after beginning their careers in the banking sector, with a collective $1.75 billion.
With $1.6 billion, banker and Hungary's richest person Megdet Rahimkulov, is next on the list alongside his two sons. Oil and precious metals magnates Musa and Mavlit Bazhayev, together with Musa's nephew, share Forbes's 7th spot at $1.45 billion.

Co-owners of the RESO-Garantia insurance company, brothers Sergei and Nikolai Sarkisov follow with $1.4 billion.
The alleged husband of President Vladimir Putin's youngest daughter Kirill Shamalov and his father are second-to-last with $1.32 billion, while Koks iron exporter Boris Zubitsky's two sons and their mother round out the list with $950 million.

Last year, Russia's 10 wealthiest families earned a total of $26.3 billion, less than 5 percent of the $530 billion combined wealth of the United States of America's 10 richest clans.

APOLOGY LETTER

ONIDURO: FINALLY TOPE ALABI APOLOGISES OVER 'ONIDURO STATEMENT. ▪︎"Let Me Acknowledge That My Mistake Was That I Externalised A Personal Message In Public; And I'm Awfully Sorry For Doing That." Initially, I didn't want to delve into the controversy over the gospel hit song, "Oniduro," because I have intervened behind the scenes in concert with other stakeholders in gospel music ministry. However, I discovered that online media would not allow the dust to settle calmly. I want to state that Tope Alabi, Adeyinka Adesioye a.k.a Alaseyori and Tolu Adelegan are all members of the same family of God and they belong to the same calling – singing ministry. "Adeyinka is my daughter in ministry. Her Pastor asked me to pray for her because she took after me, which I did wholeheartedly.  Envy who? Never!  I love the girl so much.  She can confirm to you, sir, that we relate so well. God has given each of us the grace to go as far as His enablement could carry ...

Kenneth Manzanares attacked his wife, Kristy, inside their cabin aboard the Emerald Princess cruise ship Tuesday night, according to an affidavit filed Wednesday in Alaska federal court. A witness told authorities that when he entered blood-splattered Cabin D726 — where the Manzanareses were staying — Kristy, 39, was lying on the floor in a pool of blood. "She would not stop laughing at me," Kenneth told the stunned witness, who then watched as the distraught hubby grabbed Kristy's body and tried to drag her toward the balcony. The witness got hold of the slain woman's ankles and pulled her back to the bloody cabin until cruise security arrived.   Kristy, identified only as K.M., "had a severe head wound" and Kenneth "had blood on his hands and clothing," court papers said.

New sentence, for breaching a supervision order by raping a woman days after he killed Masa Vukotic, takes jail term to 41 years Schoolgirl killer Sean Price has been handed an extra three years' jail for breaching a supervision order by raping a woman days after the homicide. The sentence takes his total jail term to 41 years and means the 33-year-old will now not be eligible for parole until after 39 years and five months. Price appeared in the county court of Victoria on Thursday via video link to hear his sentence but Judge Meryl Sexton disconnected him from the hearing when he began playing up and making offensive gestures. She earlier refused his request to personally make a "commentary" to the court, given he was already legally represented. Price pleaded guilty to breaching a 10-year supervision order when he raped a woman in a Christian bookshop, shortly after killing schoolgirl Masa Vukotic by stabbing her 49 times in March 2015. He admitted committing the rape ...
