Wildberries CEO Tatyana Kim still tops Forbes’ list of Russia’s richest women, despite losing $2 billion amid Ukrainian strikes on the company’s warehouses
Forbes Russia magazine has published a new ranking of Russia’s richest women, and their combined fortune has declined sharply compared with last year, falling from $25.75 billion in 2025 to $18.95 billion this year — a drop of $6.8 billion.
Forbes Russia's latest ranking of Russia's wealthiest women reveals a significant decline in their combined fortune, dropping from $25.75 billion in 2025 to $18.95 billion in the current year—a loss of $6.8 billion. Tatyana Kim, the founder of Wildberries, retained her top spot for the fifth consecutive year, though her wealth plummeted by over $2 billion from $7.1 billion to $5 billion.
The company's stock price decline and Ukrainian drone attacks on their warehouses are cited as the primary reasons for the financial setback. Five women fell off the list of billionaires, including Tatyana Volodina, co-owner of L’Etoile and Podruzhka retail chains, and Lidia Sulteeva, co-owner of the Vulkan company. The number of female billionaires in Russia decreased from nine to four over the past year.
Other billionaires on the list include Elena Baturina, Lyudmila Kogan, Ekaterina Fedun, and newly added Larisa Prokopyeva, founder of Evalar, Russia's largest dietary supplement manufacturer, who now has an estimated fortune of $450 million.
