“Meticulous, like dad”: Vladimir Lisin immerses his son Dmitry in his business. Vladimir Lisin immerses his son Dmitry in his family business. The oligarch becomes a wealthy man.

Yusuf Alekperov (No. 1) - $14.5 billion, Tara Melnichenko (No. 2) - $13.2 billion, Victoria Mikhelson and her brother (No. 3) - $9.2 billion each

In the list of heirs of the richest entrepreneurs, we present 20 families where each child accounts for at least $2.3 billion. Total children in these families - 47. This year's newcomer was the family of the largest shareholder of UC Rusal Oleg Deripaska, he was replaced by the former owner of MDM Bank Sergey Popov .

When compiling a list of the richest heirs in Russia, we divided the businessman’s fortune among all his recognized children. It turned out to be an interesting picture - the children of Roman Abramovich, for example, were not included in the list. The billionaire has seven of them, and each accounts for only $1.3 billion. But on the list you can see Iskander Makhmudov’s junior partner at UMMC Andrey Kozitsyn - his only daughter can claim his $4.3 billion so far.

The richest heir ($14.5 billion), as last year, was Yusuf Alekperov, the only son of Lukoil President Vagit Alekperov. In last, 20th place are the children of the chairman of the board of directors of the Alfa-Bank banking group, Peter Aven, Denis and Daria, each of them accounts for $2.3 billion.

Billionaires raise their heirs in different ways. Alekperov, for example, did everything to ensure that his son stayed in Russia and continued his work. Yusuf received a specialized education and, at the insistence of his father, worked as a simple engineer in various Lukoil companies.

Of all the children of billionaires, eight work in their fathers’ structures. These are Yusuf Alekperov, Jahangir Makhmudov, Alexander Vekselberg, Dmitry Lisin, Ksenia Frank (daughter of Gennady Timchenko), Olga Rashnikova, Said Gutseriev and Anastasia Potanina. Other participants in the rating of heirs work in companies that are not owned by their parents, or do not work anywhere yet (out of 47 participants in the rating, only 21 completed their studies at universities).

The main owner of Alfa Group, Mikhail Fridman, for example, gives his children complete freedom of choice. He does not want to “create a dynasty” and does not intend to employ any of his four children.

The most notable events associated with participants in the ranking of heirs can be called engagement eldest daughter LetterOne shareholder Herman Khan Eva with Skadden's London lawyer Alex van der Zwan and the purchase by Said Gutseriev (son of the founder of the Safmar group Mikhail Gutseriev) of a controlling stake in the Ukrainian subsidiary of Sberbank.

How the owner of the Novolipetsk Metallurgical Plant, Vladimir Lisin, plunges his son Dmitry, heir to a $16 billion fortune, into his family business

The November evening of 1994 did not promise anything good for the guests of the Yakhont House of Foreign Specialists. The most luxurious hotel in Krasnoyarsk with a strange name was packed with armed people. The forces were distributed equally between strong men in civilian clothes and uniformed officers. In one of the issues of Yakhont, the vice president of Trans-CIS Commodities Vladimir Lisin negotiated with the general director of the Krasnoyarsk Aluminum Plant Yuri Kolpakov.

There was no shooting that evening. But when Lisin’s dacha on Kaluga Highway suddenly burned down in 1994, he did not hesitate to send his entire family abroad. Lisin’s eldest son Dmitry returned to Russia only in the mid-2000s. By his own admission, he doesn’t remember well the details of the “aluminum wars” that his father waged - he was only 13 at the time. But Dmitry Lisin still avoids publicity. Forbes tried to find out the details of the biography of one of the three heirs to a $16 billion fortune.

Terrible Basket

“He is informal, open and always returns the call,” his acquaintance describes Dmitry Lisin. According to another friend, the heir to Vladimir Lisin is “meticulous, like dad,” prefers modest business-class cars and drives himself, “has no weakness for showing off and is 99% immersed in business.”

Dmitry Lisin gained his first experience in business in 2001. A 20-year-old student at the London School of Economics set up an agency to provide financial and immigration services to students in Europe. Then he started managing commercial real estate. Forbes was unable to find out the details of these undertakings: the heir of Vladimir Lisin did not give interviews and limited himself to short answers, which he conveyed through a representative.

Dmitry’s first job in his father’s business empire was the management company Rumelko. Her former employee calls the company “a basket for Lisin’s personal assets,” into which, before the IPO of the Novolipetsk Iron and Steel Works (NLMK; the main asset of Vladimir Lisin), all non-core assets were transferred in 2005: from ports to shooting clubs (both Lisins are keen on hunting).

Novolipetsk Iron and Steel Works

Dmitry came to Rumelko in 2006 and in four years worked his way up from a consultant in the asset management department to director of strategic planning. He did not specify the projects he was involved in, but noted that he “had the opportunity to quickly receive information and delve into details in all areas - banking, real estate, metallurgy, transport, mechanical engineering, sports.”

In the 2000s, Rumelko was a “formidable force” that was “accepted to be reckoned with” within Lisin’s empire, recalls a former employee of the company: its managers were directly involved in asset management, being members of their boards of directors. Dmitry Lisin made his debut in this capacity in 2008, when an expert in the direct investment department of Rumelko took the director’s chair in the Rumedia media holding.

Speaker or digest

Vladimir Lisin greeted Vladimir Putin's rise to power with enthusiasm. To play a more active role at the federal level, the billionaire needed a mouthpiece, says Raf Shakirov, a former Chief Editor newspapers "Gazeta". This publication became Lisin’s first serious media asset.

Vladimir Lisin

According to Shakirov, Lisin invested more than $5 million in the launch of Gazeta, which took place in 2001. If the first two years were “a period of absolutely free work,” then in the third year Lisin began visiting the editorial office “almost every night,” recalls ex-editor-in-chief: he came after the issue was handed over and even before 2-3 in the morning he talked “about life, about politics, about how to develop the economy.” Appeared free time after the end of the corporate wars, and “nostalgic memories did not leave him,” argues Shakirov: at one time, Lisin published a student newspaper and came up with cartoons for it.

Soon, Lisin’s interest in his own media cooled. Hopes to fit into the inner circle of the new president did not materialize, Shakirov believes. The point is different, argues a source close to Rumedia: Lisin saw Gazeta primarily as a business, and the publication “never turned a profit.” Then he switched his son, who worked as an expert in the Rumelko private equity department, to the newspaper. “I let him practice on cats,” the former media manager of Gazeta sneers.

Dmitry Lisin was primarily interested in the development of the Gazeta website. Like his father, Dmitry was full of ideas, recalls a source close to Rumedia: “But not everyone accepted them.” Lisin’s eldest son wanted to turn the site into a “digest,” recalls the former media manager of Gazeta: not to produce his own content, but to collect it from all possible resources and reprint it. “The editors greeted this idea with skepticism,” notes the interlocutor.

Dmitry behaved “in general politely,” but “it is impossible to convince him”: he is sure “that he knows everything better than others,” he shares his impressions. Faced with opposition from journalists and media managers, Dmitry Lisin “quickly lost interest in the project and took an active part in its closure,” recalls one of the eyewitnesses of those events. In 2010, the printed version of the Gazeta ceased publication, and the following year the website was also closed. By this time, Dmitry became interested in another media project.

Radio for the oligarch

In July 2009, Vladimir Lisin was elected president of the European Rifle Confederation. The news that was not the most typical for business radio, heard on Business FM, hardly attracted the attention of listeners. But the radio station’s editor-in-chief, Dmitry Solopov, clearly sensed the wind of change in the message. A month earlier, it became known that Vladimir Lisin was buying the United Media holding (Business FM its main asset) from businessman Arkady Gaydamak and top management for $23.5 million. New owner without Solopov’s knowledge, he appointed new deputies to him, who had already begun to change the ideology of the station, he wrote.

Lisin, like any oligarch, wanted to have his own media, but he had “an extremely bad experience,” admits one of the participants in the deal. Everything worked out with Business FM, says a source close to Rumedia: “It’s a very successful format: it fed itself and didn’t require any special investments.” By purchasing the radio station, Lisin received not only profitable, but also safe media, notes one of the participants in the deal: “The station is neutral. The broadcast is structured in such a way that it cannot be said that she is on someone’s side.”

Lisin’s eldest son actively participated in negotiations with Gaydamak, two participants say: “This story was given to him.” According to one of the sources, Dmitry was especially involved in the price discussion. In particular, he insisted on a “security deposit” - a deferred payment of about 15% of the transaction amount in case “if problems arise with the company.”

Dmitry impressed upon the negotiating participants good impression. One of Forbes’ interlocutors still recalls that the equipment of his Lexus was simpler than that of one of the founders of Business FM, Yegor Altman.

This time the Lisins behaved as tactfully as possible, says a former Business FM employee: “They were very proud that they had this asset.” The new owners concentrated on optimizing costs and expanding the broadcast network. At the same time, “nothing was changed at all on air, not even the design.” This strategy became “the salvation for the project,” the interlocutor is sure.

According to Dmitry himself, at Rumedia he oversees “operational, social and financial questions" Not a single board of directors can do without him, notes a source in the media holding. Lisin Jr. is involved not only in issues of strategy, but also often delves into details: “Even down to what the site looks like, how convenient or inconvenient it is.”

Dmitry also monitors the broadcast of the radio station, notes his friend. In particular, the quality of experts invited to comment. He may flare up: “This man has a reputation as a clown, and you invite him!”

Seller with an opinion

In the mid-2000s, Vladimir Lisin began actively purchasing transport assets. As in the case of media, he started later than other businessmen, who by that time had already acquired their own ports.

By 2011, the UCLH Lisin transport holding included shipping, port and railway divisions. Lisin was based on his transportation needs, says an acquaintance of his: The First Freight Company (PGK) and shipping assets exported his metals, and transshipped them through the ports of St. Petersburg and Tuapse (part of UCLH). Lisin took up transportation of oil and dry cargo later.

Dmitry Lisin, who is now on the board of directors of most of his father’s transport assets, is mainly involved in shipping assets, says a source at UCLH. UCLH volume managers interviewed by Forbes could not remember the specific achievements of Lisin Jr., but emphasized that during the voting he “is not perceived as the will of his father and has his own opinion.” Dmitry himself also did not specify his merits, noting that “in the group it is not customary to personify or appropriate ideas and achievements.” According to him, the main principle of the transport division is “Everything for the client!”

One of the sources at UCLH notes that Dmitry Lisin “is not one of those who advocates reducing tariffs at ports,” and in the recent deal to divide the shipping business he was in favor of “expenses with minority shareholders” (they got the Vodokhod cruise company).

According to friend Dmitry Lisin, he is mainly involved in the sale of non-core assets of the transport holding company: “His task is to sell and turn into money everything that is not part of the main business.” The last such task was the restructuring of the port of St. Petersburg, the interlocutor says. Over the past two years, the port has put up for sale the Baltiyskaya hotel, a hostel, a recreation center and land underneath them.

There is something to work on

In 2015, Dmitry Lisin left Rumelko and became director of strategic planning at Adduko Management. Apparently, this is another “basket” for his father’s assets. From the description from the headhunting site it follows that “the company provides professional services to organizations engaged in various fields: sports, recreation, charity.” In particular, the sports and shooting complex “Fox Hole” and the charitable foundation “Institute of Social Development,” as indicated on the website. The foundation, judging by court documents, was the developer of Europe's largest shooting range, Lisin, and also owns a building on Zoological Street in Moscow. Dmitry, according to him, oversees “almost all areas” at Adduko. For him, this is “more of a kind of official position,” says a source close to Lisin’s structures: for annual reports and lists of boards of directors.

Oleg Bagrin

In companies where Lisin's son occupies the director's chair, there is generally a special approach to the preparation of annual reports. They are prohibited from posting photographs of members of the board of directors, since Dmitry never publishes his own, say two people close to Lisin’s transport holding.

What about Lisin NLMK’s main asset? Until recently, Dmitry did not take part in his father’s metallurgical assets, says an acquaintance of the billionaire: “He [Dmitry] does not have a specialized education, but for Lisin it is very important that a person understands the industry well, that he has a specialized background.”

Dmitry is not so immersed in the current activities of NLMK, but he made decisions “on some issues related to his competence,” notes one of Lisin’s subordinates: “Of course, not about what steel to supply.” According to the interlocutor, Dmitry communicates well with NLMK President Oleg Bagrin.

Dmitry himself says that he participated in solving the plant’s logistics issues, and now works on NLMK’s strategic planning committee. He discusses the development of long-term business areas with his father.

The question of a successor is not that pressing, notes an acquaintance of Lisin: the billionaire, who turned 60 last year, is still too early to retire: “Lisin is doing an excellent job with his responsibilities. In addition to being an active member of the board of directors, he is immersed in some of the strategic issues that management deals with.” Dmitry is not seen as part of the “lobbying team,” says another acquaintance of the billionaire: “Rather, Lisin Sr. walks around the offices.”

Dmitry believes that his father will be happy to hand over control of his empire: “Even tomorrow.” But from the point of view of readiness, there is still something to work on, Lisin’s son admits: “Moreover, the range of interests of the group is quite diverse.”

Terrible Basket

Dmitry’s first job in his father’s business empire was the management company Rumelko. Its former employee calls the company “a basket for Lisin’s personal assets,” into which, before the IPO of the Novolipetsk Metallurgical Plant (NLMK; Vladimir Lisin’s main asset) in 2005, all non-core assets were transferred: from ports to shooting clubs (both Lisins are keen on hunting).

Over the past two years, the port has put up for sale the Baltiyskaya Hotel, a hostel, a recreation center and the land plots underneath them.

There is something to work on

Vladimir Sergeevich Lisin is a magnate of the Russian metallurgical industry. His biography is the secret of the success of a simple steelworker who managed to earn a billion-dollar fortune. And this is not an empty phrase, since he really is one of the richest people in the Russian Federation.

Childhood and youth

In the spring of 1956, a boy was born into an ordinary Soviet family in the town of Ivanovo, whom his parents named Vladimir. Growing up, he did not show any outstanding abilities or talents. IN school years was reserved and shy, not standing out among other boys. Studying was not easy for the child, as he often did not listen to the teachers, but thought about something of his own. But, having an excellent memory, he could easily tell any school topic, receiving good points for it.

In 1973, Vladimir was enrolled in the Siberian Metallurgical Institute at the Faculty of Engineering. While receiving an education, the young man understood that his parents needed financial assistance. Therefore, at the age of 19, he already began his labor activity as an electrician at the Kuzbass coal mine. After completing his studies, the young specialist went to work at the Tula Metallurgical Plant as a steelmaker. Showing remarkable hard work, Vladimir began moving up the career ladder. The shop manager appreciated the diligent young man and appointed him as his deputy.

But Lisin decided not to stop there and began scientific research, thanks to which he became a graduate student at the Kharkov Research Institute. Upon completion of graduate school, he was appointed deputy leading engineer at the Karaganda Metallurgical Plant, where he worked for about 4 years. Here he received his first experience in commercial activities, under the auspices of Oleg Soskovets, the director of the plant.

Business

Soskovets created TSK-Steel, a subsidiary of the plant, and appointed his deputy as head of the company. This company had a turnover of 20-25 million dollars. In 1991, Soskovets was appointed to the post of Minister of Metallurgy, and 10 months later he was already a member of the government. Having moved to the capital, Oleg did not abandon his deputy, taking him with him.

Here Lisin met Semyon Kislin, the owner of the Trans Commodities company, which supplies raw materials to domestic metallurgical plants. Friendships began between the men, thanks to the fact that the aspiring businessman was able to help Kislin out in a difficult situation for his business. They spun joint business, where Lisin’s connections were widely used. At the same time, Vladimir Sergeevich makes acquaintances with Chernov, Makhmudov and, who are not the last people in the metal industry.

A year later, V.S. Lisin joined the board of directors of the aluminum plant in Sayanogorsk and received membership in the Novolipetsk Metallurgical Plant. And in 1993, the entrepreneur was finally accepted as a partner in the Trans World Group, which he had been dreaming about for quite some time. The TWG company was already at the peak of its activity and was turning over billions until 1995, when the management was mowed down by a wave of contract killings.

We also did not like this company.

Vladimir Lisin and Dmitry Medvedev at NLMK

TWG began to disintegrate in 1996, when the entrepreneurial brothers began dividing up the business, and their patron Soskovets was fired from the government in a huge scandal. But Lisin, foreseeing the sad end of TWG, managed to hedge his bets and bought up part of the shares of NLMK (Lipetsk Plant). Subsequently, having agreed with, he even seized control of this company, becoming the owner of NLMK. The entrepreneur created the company Worslade Trading offshore, through which he not only sold metal abroad, but was also able to take the remaining 50% of the shares of the Lipetsk plant.

In addition to developing financial schemes and earning capital, Vladimir Sergeevich successfully works in the field of science. It boasts many proprietary developments in steel rolling and casting. An incredible mind and popular ingenuity allowed the future oligarch to receive a diploma from RANEPA in 1994, and then followed a couple of years of doctoral studies at MISiS University. His photos adorn many scientific journals and articles.

The year 1997 was marked for the entrepreneur by membership in the council of the Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Works and the presidency of the Russian Metallurgical Management Company. In 1998, having become the head of HLMK, he sold his shares in TWG to Potanin. From this moment on, Lisin begins to actively buy shares of the largest metal rolling mills in the country, taking possession of controlling stakes. And immediately an active confrontation between two oligarchs begins - Lisin and Potanin. There was everything: civil strife, buying up other people's shares through intermediaries, and a lot of conflicts. But by 2001, they suddenly stopped conflicting and became interested only in their own factories, increasing their reputation and managerial efficiency.

Large investments of money

Having acquired billions, Lisin continues to increase his turnover and invest in many industries.

So, in 2004, he acquired the Stoilensky mining and processing plant, thereby providing NLMK with ore for many years to come.
In the fall of the same year, he bought the Northern Oil and Gas Company, justifying this by the need for a site for investment in the energy sector.
A year later, NLMK placed some of its own shares on the London stock exchange, receiving $600 million for the transaction. This money was then used to invest in Moscow real estate, in particular, the Moscow City project.
In 2006, it acquired 2 seaports, thereby opening export channels to Asia, Africa, Europe and America, and reducing port costs.
In 2012, Vladimir bought shares in the First Freight Company (PGK), which includes railway, shipping and stevedoring services.
In 2013, Lisin became the owner of Universal Cargo Logistics.
Purchase of a Business FM radio station.
Acquisition of a printing house and publication of the newspaper “Gazeta”. Lisin comments on this by saying that he needed a printed publication that did not depend on anyone.

State

Money must constantly work - this is the favorite motto of Lisin, whose fortune by 2008 was more than $20 billion. But then the global crisis intervened, and the oligarch’s assets dropped to $5 billion. But a year later the situation stabilized, and the amount grew to $16 billion. In 2011, Forbes magazine announced a figure of $24 billion, owned by Vladimir Sergeevich.

According to the latest estimates of the American publication Forbes 2016, the head of NLMK ranks 115th in the world and 7th among the richest Russians.

Personal life

Vladimir Sergeevich does not like to advertise his personal life and carefully hides it from the press. But it is known that he is happily married, having married his classmate Lyudmila. The couple raised three sons, who also prefer not to put their lives on display. None of the businessman's family is in in social networks.

The oligarch's wife loves paintings by Russian artists and systematizes their works in chronological order. She also heads the Seasons painting gallery, which periodically hosts private exhibitions of paintings by private collectors. Lyudmila also became interested in collecting, but this happened at the suggestion of her husband, who gave her a painting by Petrov-Vodkin.

Vladimir Sergeevich loves to read, smoke fine cigars, and relax in his mansion in Scotland. He is also interested in shooting and collecting samples of Kasli casting. According to the tycoon, he owes all his achievements to his children. He says that it was only for their sake that he sought to rise to his feet and make a fortune.

Now that Vladimir is at the peak of his prosperity, he can easily afford to do what interests him. He recently built a shooting complex for athletes. This club is located in the Moscow region and is called “Fox Hole”. Since the tycoon heads the Russian Shooting Union, he constantly pours his own funds into it. Asserting at the same time that this does not bother him at all. They say that in his youth he himself adored shooting sports.

Vladimir Lisin is actively involved in charity work. Pays a lot of money to charitable foundation"Mercy" gives gifts to orphanages and the department. Lisin is the only philanthropist who began paying Makariev Prizes at the request of the Metropolitan of Voronezh. With the active support of NLMK, about 40 churches were restored in the region, and the head of the plant was awarded the Order by the Patriarch himself. Ask for help and write open letter a businessman can do it through his official website. This option is available to every citizen of the Russian Federation.

Now Vladimir Sergeevich is a member of the Bureau Committee of the Board of the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs, where he holds the position of Chairman for Tax Policy, and is also a member of the Board of Trustees of the Russian Olympians Support Fund.

In 2016, several sources reported that the outstanding entrepreneur had cancer. This information has not been confirmed by anything.
