Russia's Billionaires
利用福布斯1990年代以来的数据，研究俄罗斯超级富豪在过去二十年的出现与存续，并与其他国家比较。发现俄罗斯亿万富翁数量在2000年代中期激增，行业分布从石油、天然气、金属和银行扩展到贸易、房地产、化工和信息技术。
Using data collected by Forbes since the 1990s, I examine the emergence and survival of the super-wealthy in Russia over the past two decades and compare Russia's record to those of other countries. The major surge in the number of Russian billionaires came in the mid-2000s, mirroring the dynamic worldwide. While early billionaires were predominantly found in the oil, gas, metals, and banking sectors, the distribution has become more diverse, now including some in trade, real estate, chemicals, and information technology. Only a minority of today's Russian billionaires acquired significant assets in the privatization of the 1990s.
