From Rappers to Tech Billionaires- Celebrity Net Worths that Will Surprise You

According to Bloomberg, his net worth sits at a remarkable $24.4 billion. Some of his revenue-generating assets include the pharmaceutical company Petrovax Pharm, several Iranian Internet companies such as Digikala, virtual coins, and even a Russian ski resort.
Potanin’s fortune, though, wouldn’t be possible without his involvement in the controversial loans-for-shares program launched by Boris Yeltsin in the ’90s. The program introduced capitalism into Russia by allowing several individuals to buy shares in previously-public companies.
