executive summary by darmansjah
In the first decades after the Russian Revolution, Soviet
leaders boasted that their country would overtake the capitalist West. In one
respect they were right, but not quite in the way Lenin hoped – Moscow surpasses
New York in the number of billionaires who are resident there, according to
Forbes’s Rich List. Vladimir Lisin, who has a fortune of US$24bn, is officially
Russia’s richest man, while fellow steel magnate Lakshmi Mittal’s US$32bn makes
him the richest man in the UK. Yet both are miles behind the richest man in the
world, Mexico’s Carlos Slim, who has US$77bn in the bank.
