Roman Abramovich: Wealth
built 670 days ago
Roman Abramovich is one of the world's wealthiest men but he is surrounded by mystery. He is only 37 years old but it is estimated that the man from Komi, in the eastern part of Russia near the Urals, has built up a fortune of more than $6bn in the last eight years.

Like his fellow billionaire Bill Gates, Abramovich is unexpectedly slight. His recent visit to a clinic in Austria was not, as reported, to cope with stress but to shed a couple of kilos in weight. He has receding brown hair, his customary designer stubble and azure-blue eyes. More comfortable in jumpers and jeans, today he is wearing a dark grey suit with thin pinstripes, his blue shirt open at the collar and tieless. Despite his estimated wealth of £10.8bn, the second highest personal fortune in Britain, he sports a chunky Eighties-style digital watch. It doesn't look expensive.

Romantic Roman certainly fits the bill, as you so clearly outline. And his wealth seems to come from the land - you know primary products. He seems to be quite frivolous with his nation's wealth, a key element in oligarching.
