That is about $2 million to $6 million at the November 6, 2026 exchange rate. Bilanz prints fortunes as ranges, not single numbers, so we show the range exactly as published.
How the estimate works
Bilanz publishes a yearly list of the 100 richest young people in Switzerland, mixing entrepreneurs, heirs and a handful of stars. Kurashev is one of the sportspeople on the 2026 list, with an estimated fortune of CHF 2–5 million. The magazine's own research and estimates, not tax records or official filings, are behind the number.
The ranking counts people who hold a Swiss passport or live in Switzerland, even if they play abroad, and fortunes are shown in Swiss francs in bands such as 10 to 20 million or 20 to 50 million. We use the low end of the band only to sort Kurashev against other athletes on this site, and we never show a single made-up figure.
