But Friedman decided otherwise: he announced that he would give almost all the wealth he had acquired to charity, and let the children build their own careers. His policy towards children is as follows: he raised, taught, and their further fate is only a matter of their own efforts.

As we thought

Forbes has been evaluating the world's largest fortunes for decades. To do this, the journal uses a specially developed methodology, the basis of which is as follows:

1. Our assessment of the state of an entrepreneur is the value of assets belonging to him: shares of companies, land plots, real estate, as well as personal property, etc.

2. All public companies are valued by market capitalization. Closed companies are valued based on information about sales volumes, profits, equity capital; a comparison is made with companies of similar indicators, traded on the stock exchange or in the recent past, the former objects of purchase and sale. We try to be conservative and evaluate the property of entrepreneurs according to the principle “at least not cheaper”.

3. In this list, the price of companies is fixed as of February 12, 2016. The age of the participants in the list is indicated on April 15, 2016.

4. Russian entrepreneurs often assign shares of their enterprises to the next of kin. Given this circumstance, Forbes assigns all the assets that the family of entrepreneurs controls to the head of the family - if the relatives do not actively participate in the management of the company, of which they are co-owners.

5. The list includes only those Russian citizens who earned the bulk of their capital privately, without being a civil servant.

6. The list includes only 200 of the richest businessmen in Russia, the lower end of the rating is a fortune of $ 350 million. If you did not find any of the famous entrepreneurs in the list, then Forbes estimates his fortune at less than $ 350 million.

The information given in the Forbes rating is an expert and journalistic assessment of the aggregate volume of property ownership by these persons. This information is not official and can only be used in private.
