The richest man in Uzbekistan: biography, rating and interesting facts

Uzbek oligarchs are insanely rich and insanely secretive. About their personal lives are practically not distributed, and if there is information about them in the media, then it is not the most worthy. Solid capital, influential ties, interesting hobbies - three whales, which hold the richest people of Uzbekistan.

Gold Five

Who is the richest man in Uzbekistan? Who earns a year more than any average person in his life? Who has so much real estate that it would be possible to settle an entire village? For whom the purchase of a new machine is comparable to a trip to the store for bread? Yes, these are all them, the main rich people are Salimbai Abduvaliev, Batyr Rakhimov, Karimov sisters, Iskandar Mahmudov, Alisher Usmanov. Who is the richest man in Uzbekistan, is difficult to determine, because everyone has a capital of sky-high proportions. And these are only those whose information is publicly available.

But the "hunt" for oligarchs in 2010 showed that many rich people simply do not want to pay taxes, and therefore in every possible way try to hide their real income. For example, Dmitry Lim did not wait until he was caught, and migrated to the United States. Lim was seen not only in non-payment of taxes, but also in the illegal importation of construction materials into the country.

The richest people in Uzbekistan (the rating did not manage to leave the country)

"Pay taxes and sleep peacefully" - apparently, managers and directors from the company Royson had never heard of it. Neglect of the country's tax code and fraud in the manufacture of air conditioning systems led these people to prison. They imported from China ready air conditioners to Uzbekistan, and in their country glued a sign Made in Uzbekistan. At the same time, the company enjoyed appropriate benefits. The rating rating of fraudsters is unknown, but it uniquely includes almost all managers and directors of Royson.

Son of the collective farm chairman

As a child, Salim Abduvaliyev could not think what would be one of the most influential and wealthy people in Uzbekistan. A guy from the village, the son of the chairman of the kolkhoz devoted much time to sports, which allowed him to become a fivefold champion of Uzbekistan in freestyle wrestling. After leaving the sport, the richest man in Uzbekistan (for today) started working at the plant, and then completely enlarged the ranks of truckers. At the age of forty, Salim took part in a partnership with Mikhail Chernoye's aluminum business.

Abduvaliev is not only the richest man in Uzbekistan, but also a serious authority. At one time, the Caucasian mafia was driven out by his people from the country. It was he who first voiced the initiative to break with legal racketeering. In the list of his close friends are: Alexander Karelin, Joseph Kobzon, Leo and Mikhail Chernykh, Alimzhan Tokhtakhunov, Renat Akchurin, Vladimir Spivakov.

"A thief in law"

Batyr Rakhimov received the status of businessman in 1989. His business was based on the supply of imported cars to Uzbekistan. Significant growth in its capital was in the two thousandth years. In 2001, the richest man in Uzbekistan (one of those) gave all his strength to build up his capital and opened Kapitalbank. Already by 2009, the capital of the businessman exceeded the mark of two hundred and five million dollars. But, despite this, according to Standard & Poor's, the credit rating of the businessman is marked with a negative sign.

In 2010, Rakhimov owns a network of restaurants, a football club and a hotel. But to call this year successful for a businessman is impossible, because he became a turning point for Rakhimov, since he was arrested. The reason for the detention is the promotion of criminal activities by Vyacheslav Ivankov. There is information that at home it is not called "the richest man in Uzbekistan", but "the Uzbek thief in the Law".

Sisters of Karimov: Gulnara

It is not surprising that the daughters of the president of the republic are among the richest people in the republic. Gulnara Karimova is the eldest daughter of the president of Uzbekistan. Her property is a number of assets of various mobile and jewelry companies. It is rumored that in addition she owns some media and entertainment centers. But Gulnara herself refutes this information in every possible way.

Many in the country treat her with open opposition and negativity, which is why the people began to call her "the mafia princess". WikiLeaks marks her as an ambitious man, capable of crushing anyone who gets in her way. But she is ready to do this only with her father's hands. But Karimov does not care about the opinion of others. She enjoys life in Switzerland, is engaged in music, design and successfully stands at the helm of her beloved Zeromax. The overall condition of the sisters is estimated at one billion dollars.

Sisters of Karimov: Lola

In the list of the richest people in Uzbekistan, Lola Karimova (the youngest daughter of the president of Uzbekistan) was in 2013. According to the journal Bilan, the state of Lola and her husband Timur Tiplyaev has about one hundred and maybe two hundred million francs. Lola with her family lives in Geneva. She is the Ambassador of Uzbekistan to UNESCO and is actively engaged in charitable activities.

Timur Tiplyayev is the owner of a transport company, a covered market and a parking network in Uzbekistan. Spouses refute such a high level of income and say that it does not exceed seventy million francs. It is worth noting that Lola - the owner of the elite "Maybach", which she presented as a birthday present Batyr Rakhimov. As they say, "money to money". In addition to all the other achievements, Lola is the head of the gymnastics union.

Despite the fact that many articles about the Karimov sisters write general articles, they have not spoken in real life since Lola was twelve years old. In marriage, Lola is already the second time, she has three children - two girls and a boy. There is an opinion that after the death of her father, she will become the president of Uzbekistan. The girl is not only full of aspiration, but also has a diplomatic education.

The billionaire from the Forbes list

Iskander Makhmudov was born in Bukhara to a family of teachers. He was educated at the Tashkent State University, he did not go to the army after graduation, but went to earn money. As a chief engineer of the Ministry of Foreign Economic Relations of the USSR, he served as translator for a group of military specialists of the USSR in Libya for two years, and then spent two years in the construction department, where he worked on the military facilities of the Iraqi General Staff.

Returning from abroad in 1988, he received an offer from Uzbeksintorg to do business. This period is characterized by an acquaintance with Mikhail Cherny, with whom Makhmudov will have a common business related to trade. There is an opinion that the businessman was not clean at hand, and together with Chernoy he turned frauds with unsecured advice notes.

In the nineties, he moved to Moscow and began to accumulate his capital, which, according to 2013, amounted to almost nine billion dollars.

Ordered officer from Uzbekistan

Answering the question "Who are they, the rich people of Uzbekistan?", One can involuntarily recall Alisher Usmanov. Now he lives in Russia, but Usmanov's family is from the Uzbek SSR. Before becoming the richest man, he had to go a long and thorny path. In the eighties he was engaged in the production of plastic bags. And only in 2000 he holds the post of General Director of OOO Gazprominvestholding and buys shares of oil and gas workers. The most discussed acquisition of Usmanov was the purchase of shares of Apple.

Forbes estimates the state of the oligarch at eighteen million dollars. Some of the money he spends on charity. For example, only in 2012 he donated $ 180 million to support sports, culture and the creation of charitable foundations. Unexpected, his efforts did not remain, he was awarded the Order of Merit for the Fatherland of the 4th degree.
