For ten months of 2022, the wealth of the richest Ukrainians fell by more than $20 billion to $22.5 billion. As analyzed by the Ukrainian Forbes magazine, one of the top losers since February is Rinat Akhmetov, whose assets decreased from $13.7 billion in February to $4.4 billion by the end of the year.. Not least due to the loss of two large metallurgical plants in the temporarily occupied Mariupol, as well as the closure of the media business.

The top five also included Maksim Litvin with assets of $2.3 billion, Alexey Shevchenko - $2.3 billion, Viktor Pinchuk - $2.2 billion and Konstantin Zhevago - $1.4 billion.

At the same time, such people as Igor Kolomoisky, who ranked fourth in the ranking last year and who was deprived of citizenship in the summer, Vyacheslav Bohuslaev and Viktor Medvedchuk, who were suspected of treason, and their assets were arrested, fell out of the list of the richest Ukrainians,.

At the same time, analysts of the publication predict that after the end of the war, the list of the richest will include new faces who have never been there.. These are mainly representatives of IT and the latest technologies, as well as the son of Akhmetov Damir, who has already accumulated considerable capital by acquiring foreign real estate.

Forbes noted that they assessed the wealth of the richest people based on the value of assets: stocks, real estate, vehicles, art, bank accounts and cash.. Public companies are valued at market value, but not below the liquidation value of assets.
