• The children of Pavel Durov for the first time entered the rating of the richest heirs according to Forbes. Their mother, presumably, is Daria Mikhailovna Bondarenko, whom Pavel knew at St Petersburg University. However, Durov is not officially married, and even in 2020 he shared the rules of life with the readers of his Telegram channel, one of which reads:
• “Live alone. Surprisingly, all the young-looking, middle-aged men I spoke to lived most of their lives in solitude. This may be a result of their independence from the sleep/eating/behavior patterns of the other person. Or is it just a correlation, and people who are independent of unhealthy social norms are also independent in their personal lives.”
5. Tara and Adrian Melnichenko
• Nine-year-old Tara and four-year-old Adrian hardly think about such serious things as managing Eurochem and SUEK. This is done by their father, Andrei Melnichenko.

1. Yusuf Alekperov is Russia's richest heir
• The only heir to the president and main shareholder of Lukoil, Vagit Alekperov, although he was born with a “diamond spoon in his mouth”, does not waste, but increases the family fortune.
• He has his own holding "Ekto", the pearl of which is the dealer of Mercedes-Benz, the Lukavto company. Last year, its revenue amounted to 7,4 billion rubles.
• In addition, Alekperov Jr. is on the board of directors of FC Spartak, and this is not surprising, because his father is one of the main shareholders of the club.
• Yusuf will not follow in his father's footsteps, although he happened to work for several years in the oil and gas industry at the insistence of Alekperov Sr. As a result, Vagit said that the reins of Lukoil would not be transferred to his son, but to one of his trusted employees.
• In his spare time, Yusuf collects expensive cars and travels the world with his wife Alice.
