Forbes: Wildberries founder Bakalchuk stays richest Russian woman

MOSCOW, Aug 29 (PRIME) -- Marketplace Wildberries founder Tatyana Bakalchuk has kept the first position in the rating of Russia’s richest women in 2023, but the valuation of her fortune almost halved to U.S. $7 billion from $13 billion in 2021, Forbes reported late on Monday.

The second place belongs to private investor Tatyana Litvinenko with a fortune of $2.8 billion. She received a 20.6% stake in fertilizer producer PhosAgro in May 2022 from her husband.

The third position is taken by Varvara Skoch with $2.5 billion, who became the owner of 15% of holding company USM in December 2020, which were earlier in the hands of her grandfather, Vladimir Skoch.
