Oleg Deripaska has an estimated net worth of $7.6 billion, according to Forbes Real-Time Billionaires, Oleg Deripaska profile (figures as of October 20, 2026). That is up from $3.6 billion in 2019.
Oleg Deripaska is a Russian businessman in metals and mining. He built his career after the breakup of the Soviet Union, starting as a metals trader and using trading profits to buy into the Sayanogorsk aluminium smelter. That asset became the base for a much larger aluminum business. He later founded Basic Element, an industrial group with interests in aluminum, energy, construction, agriculture, and other sectors.
His rise in aluminum came through a series of deals. In 1997, he founded Sibirsky Aluminium Group. In 2000, it joined with Roman Abramovich's Millhouse Capital to create Rusal. In 2007, Rusal merged with SUAL Group and Glencore International AG to form UC Rusal, where Deripaska served as chairman. He also led En+ Group, and in 2017 the company raised $1.5 billion in an IPO that brought together power assets and his stake in UC Rusal.
How Oleg Deripaska built his fortune
Deripaska made his money mainly from aluminum and utilities. He began in metal trading, then used those funds to buy stakes in the Sayanogorsk aluminium smelter. From there, he expanded into a much bigger metals business that became Rusal and later UC Rusal. Alongside metals, he built Basic Element, a diversified group that spans energy, construction, agriculture, manufacturing, aviation, financial services, and other industrial holdings.
A big part of his wealth came from combining assets and holding large stakes in major companies. In 2000, he merged his Siberian Aluminum business with Millhouse Capital's aluminum assets to form UC Rusal. Basic Element also managed investments in businesses such as EuroSibEnergo, GAZ Group, Aviakor, Glavmosstroy, Kuban Agroholding, and airport operations in the Krasnodar region. In 2010, Rusal became the first Russian company listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.
Forbes net worth and the business swings
Forbes has tracked sharp changes in Deripaska's fortune over time. It put him at $3.6 billion in 2019, then $2.3 billion in 2020, before a rebound to $3.8 billion in 2021. The estimate then fell to $1.7 billion in 2022 and rose again to $2.5 billion in 2023 and $2.8 billion in 2024. Those moves fit a career tied closely to large industrial assets and market cycles.
The latest Forbes estimate is much higher. Forbes valued him at $4.1 billion in 2025 and $7.6 billion in 2026, which is also the current figure on Forbes' real-time billionaires tracker as of October 20, 2026. Earlier in his career, he was Russia's richest person and the 9th richest in the world in 2008 before crashing markets and heavy debts cut his wealth sharply. His money story has moved with aluminum, power, debt, and dealmaking.
