Moscow magnates
But it was the rising number of Russian tycoons which attracted particular attention from Forbes.
Russia possessed 17 tycoons, 10 more than last year, taking it past the UK, France, Hong Kong and Saudi Arabia in the country table, and putting it only two magnates behind Japan.
"Considering the modest size of the Russian economy these days, Russia may well have the highest billionaire to [economic output] ratio in the world," a Forbes article said.
Forbes credited the increase to economic stability, and the tightening of corporate governance.
The richest Russian was Mikhail Khodorkovsky, head of oil giant Yukos.
