Tatiana Kim named Russia’s richest woman for fifth time
Wildberries founder Tatiana Kim tops the list of Russia’s 20 richest women for a fifth straight year with about €4.25 billion.
Tatiana Kim, founder of the e‑commerce group Wildberries and head of the RWB corporate group, has been named the richest woman in Russia for the fifth consecutive time, with an estimated fortune of around €4.25 billion.
The ranking of the 20 wealthiest Russian women places Elena Baturina second with about €1.1 billion and Lyudmila Kogan third with roughly €1.06 billion. Rounding out the top five are Ekaterina Fedun, daughter of former Lukoil co‑owner Leonid Fedun, with an estimated €850 million, and Tatiana Volodina with €807 million.
The combined wealth of the 20 women on the list fell by approximately €5.84 billion over the past year to about €16.1 billion. Analysts cite a fall in share prices on the Moscow exchange and a slowdown in the consumer sector driven by high interest rates as the main reasons behind the decline.
Recent history and other notable movements
Kim first reached the top of the list in 2021 and has previously held the number‑one spot in 2023, 2024 and 2025. Her position this year marks the fifth time she leads the ranking.
Larisa Prokopyeva, founder of Evalar — the largest Russian dietary supplements producer — returned to the list this year with an estimated €383 million. Commentators also note that the number of multi‑millionaires among Russian women has quadrupled over the last five years.
