Later ex-wife decided to sue the businessman 32% of Severstal. From his second wife he has two sons - Cyril and Nikita. “It is disturbing that he had little contact with his son while he was growing up. And I also don’t communicate much with younger children, ”Mordashov told Vedomosti in 2001. Now the billionaire devotes more time to his family - in 2015, on Metallurgist's Day, he came to Cherepovets with his third wife Marina and two daughters. The eldest, Masha, studies at the Wunderpark school in New Riga, which was opened by her mother.
If you take the combined fortune of all 77 billionaires from the latest Forbes list ($283 billion) and divide it by children (in total, billionaires have 243 children), you get a little more than a billion each. Forbes decided to see which of the heirs was the luckiest. The list includes 20 families, where each child accounts for at least $1.82 billion. The total number of children is 47.
Formally, this list cannot be called a rating of heirs - for example, we did not take into account marital shares in the calculations. For simplicity, we divided the entire fortune of a businessman into all his recognized children. It turned out an interesting picture - the children of Roman Abramovich, for example, were not included in the list. The billionaire has seven of them, and each accounts for only $1.1 billion. But on the list you can see Iskander Makhmudov's junior partner at UMMC Andrey Kozitsyn - his only daughter can still claim $2.4 billion.
To date, the richest heir ($8.9 billion) is Yusuf Alekperov, The only son Lukoil President Vagit Alekperov. This place was supposed to be Victoria Mikhelson, the daughter of the main owner of Novatek and Sibur, Leonid Mikhelson, but it suddenly turned out that her 60-year-old father had recently had a son. The businessman's fortune had to be divided in half.
Billionaires raise their heirs in different ways. Alekperov, for example, did everything for his son to stay in Russia and continue his work. Yusuf received a specialized education and, at the insistence of his father, worked as a simple engineer in various Lukoil companies.
The main owner of Alfa Group, Mikhail Fridman, on the contrary, gives his children complete freedom of choice. He does not want to "create a dynasty" and is not going to employ any of his four children.
The children of billionaires - no matter where they study, in Russia or abroad - prefer the specialties "economics" and "management". The most popular higher educational institution, oddly enough, remains MGIMO. The same institution was the most popular among their fathers.

How Andrey Kozitsyn started his path to success
Andrei Anatolyevich Kozitsyn was born on June 9, 1960 in the city of Verkhnyaya Pyshma, Sverdlovsk Region. In 1979 he graduated from the Sverdlovsk Mining and Metallurgical College and in the same year he began working as an electrician at the Uralelectromed plant in Verkhnyaya Pyshma.
The year 1979 was rich in events for Andrei Kozitsyn: in addition to graduating from a technical school and entering the service, he joined the ranks of the Soviet Army. In 1981, after the service, he returned to the Uralelectromed plant.
Success for Andrei Kozitsyn was not lightning fast. On the way to high positions and wealth, he did not jump through the steps of the career ladder, but went through almost all of them. From the position of an electrician, he rose to the rank of head of the instrumentation and automation section, then - deputy chief head of the automation laboratory, head of the equipment department, and only then - commercial director (in 1994).
At that time, the plant was barely "breathing" under the rubble of debts and non-payments, it had to be revived "from the ashes", and Kozitsyn coped with the task. It was during this period that control over the plant passed to (an Uzbek by nationality) - today the legendary person of Russian metallurgy.
In 1993, Andrey Kozitsyn graduated from the Ural State Technical University (now UrFU) with a degree in non-ferrous metallurgy.
In 1995, Kozitsyn became the general director of OJSC Uralelectromed (and managed the company until 2002), and in 1999, with the participation of Makhmudov, the future holding UMMC (Ural Mining and Metallurgical Company) was formed. Kozitsyn becomes the general director, and the president and majority owner of the holding is Makhmudov.

Hobbies
An old hobby of an entrepreneur - military history, thanks to which he stood at the origins of the creation of one of the largest museums in the country, based in Verkhnyaya Pyshma. Museum military equipment"Battle Glory of the Urals" is located on the territory of the "Uralelectromed" plant on an area of 7 hectares. It presents more than 30 units of railway equipment, 28 armored personnel carriers and tanks, about 20 aircraft from the Second World War.
In the course of an interview on the activities of the museum, which the general director of the UMMC gave to Forbes magazine correspondents, he shared his plans: the construction of a karting track, a large planetarium, a spacious sambo palace, a tram ring capable of linking Yekaterinburg and Verkhnyaya Pyshma. Kozitsyn explained his plans to do everything during his lifetime with a simple statement: “We don’t know what the Lord is preparing for us.”
Andrey Kozitsyn successfully combines excellent managerial skills and deep academic knowledge. Once a reporter for the magazine "Expert" during an interview with a billionaire asked who he was - a metallurgist or a universal manager. Andrey Kozitsyn replied that he was a metallurgist, but it was foolish not to use the skills given by nature.
Another hobby of Andrei Kozitsyn is hunting. He not only has an excellent nose for big game, but also a well-developed business acumen. At the end of 2003, UMMC acquired the Vladikavkaz company Electrozinc, which was on the verge of bankruptcy. Kozitsyn decided to modernize the enterprise and paid off all debts. And in 2005, Electrozinc was recognized as the leader in production among 30 companies that are part of the UMMC. At the same time, world prices for zinc increased by more than 30%.
In the list of the heirs of the richest entrepreneurs, we represent 20 families, where each child accounts for at least $2.3 billion. The total number of children in these families is 47. This year's newcomer was the family of the largest shareholder of UC Rusal, Oleg Deripaska, who was replaced by the former owner of MDM Bank Sergey Popov .
Compiling a list of the richest heirs of Russia, we divided the businessman's fortune into all his recognized children. It turned out an interesting picture - the children of Roman Abramovich, for example, were not included in the list. The billionaire has seven of them, and each accounts for only $1.3 billion. But on the list you can see Iskander Makhmudov's junior partner at UMMC Andrey Kozitsyn - his only daughter can still claim $4.3 billion.
The richest heir ($14.5 billion), like last year, was Yusuf Alekperov, the only son of Lukoil president Vagit Alekperov. In last, 20th place are the children of the chairman of the board of directors of the Alfa-Bank banking group Petr Aven Denis and Daria, each of them accounts for $ 2.3 billion.
Billionaires raise their heirs in different ways. Alekperov, for example, did everything for his son to stay in Russia and continue his work. Yusuf received a specialized education and, at the insistence of his father, worked as a simple engineer in various Lukoil companies.
Of all the children of billionaires, eight people work in the structures of their fathers. These are Yusuf Alekperov, Jahangir Makhmudov, Alexander Vekselberg, Dmitry Lisin, Ksenia Frank (daughter of Gennady Timchenko), Olga Rashnikova, Said Gutseriev and Anastasia Potanina. Other participants in the rating of heirs work in companies that are not owned by their parents, or do not work anywhere yet (out of 47 participants in the rating, only 21 completed their studies at universities).
The main owner of Alfa Group, Mikhail Fridman, for example, gives his children complete freedom of choice. He does not want to "create a dynasty" and is not going to employ any of his four children.
The most notable events associated with the participants in the rating of heirs are the engagement of the eldest daughter of LetterOne shareholder German Khan Eva with the London lawyer of Skadden Alex van der Zwan and the purchase by Said Gutseriev (the son of the founder of the Safmar group Mikhail Gutseriev), a controlling stake in the Ukrainian subsidiary » Sberbank. [...]
[Russian Forbes, 05/25/2017, "The richest heirs of Russia": This year, the total wealth of all 96 Russian billionaires from the list was $ 386 billion. They have a total of 274 children, that is, for each of the children of billionaires, on average, there is $ 1.4 billion of the accumulated wealth of fathers. [...]
The methodology for compiling the ranking is simple: we take the fortune of a billionaire and divide it by all recognized children. We do not include marital shares in our calculations. Also, we do not take into account the statements of the list participants, in particular Mikhail Fridman and Vladimir Potanin, that big money they are not going to leave their children - everything acquired will go to charity - sidebar K.ru]
