Dmitry Rybolovlev & family

About Me

Rybolovlev' built his fortune in Uralkali, Russia's largest producer of potassium fertilizers, during the 1990s privatization era. He sold his stake in Uralkali for $6.5 billion in 2010 and doesn't appear to have any business in Russia these days. He has spent roughly $1 billion on property in Europe, including Greek island Skorpios and $400 million Monaco penthouse La Belle Epoque. After a nasty years-long divorce battle, Rybolovlev was ordered to pay his ex-wife $605 million. In Oct. 2015 they reached an undisclosed settlement. Rybolovlev sued art dealer Yves Bouvier, who had helped him buy 38 works for $2 billion. In December 2023 they reached a settlement, ending a nine-year feud. He went into business with his scientist father in 1990 after studying medicine at Russia's Perm Medical Institute. In November 2022 Rybolovlev was elected to the Ligue de Football Professionnel's (LFP) Board of directors. LFP runs two major football leagues in France.
