In 2000, Vladimir Lisin got a majority stake in Russia's giant Novolipetsk steel mill, NLMK, as his share. Recently, he added a seaport, an energy company and a large iron-ore producer to NLMK's holdings. In the subsequent year, he joined hands with a tough group of traders called Trans-World Group, which came to dominate Russia's aluminum and steel exports. In late 2005 Lisin sold 7% of his industrial complex on the London Stock Exchange for $610 million and spent the proceeds buying up two coal companies, solving an ongoing problem for metals producers--raw materials supply.

Vladimir Lisin, 49, a steel tycoon, who owns Russia's largest steel maker Novolipetsk, has bought a historic Scottish estate for 6.8 million pounds. The 3,300-acre 17th century Aberuchill Castle Estate is located near Comrie in Perthshire. The businessman acted in a consistent and well-planned manner. First he purchased a nice “family nest” featuring five receptions rooms and 13 bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms. This week he is planning to sell shares of his company at London Stock Exchange with an estimated profit of $700 million.

[T]he Reubens alleged that money used by Lisin to fund his share purchase came from a revolving credit facility guaranteed by Intermetal. The Reubens claimed that Lisin failed to pay them back. Both cases prompted legal action. The Reubens were compensated for the loss of the export steel contract and an out-of-court settlement was reached over the repayment of the loans.
