Vasily Anisimov Net Worth

Vasily Anisimov has an estimated net worth of $2.1 billion, according to Forbes Real-Time Billionaires, Vasily Anisimov profile (figures as of October 20, 2026). That is up from $1.6 billion in 2019.

Vasily Anisimov is a Croatian businessman whose career started in trading and later spread across aluminium, real estate, and vodka production. He began building his business position in 1989 with Trust Company, an exporter of non-ferrous metals. After the business shifted into aluminium trading as Transconsult, he led the company from 1990 to 1994. That period put him in the middle of major industrial deals involving refineries and smelters.

His wealth later grew through bigger ownership stakes and property development. In 2004, he re-emerged as a co-owner of Metalloinvest with Alisher Usmanov and Andrei Skoch, and he helped lead major acquisitions including Mikhailovsky GOK and Lebedinsky GOK. He eventually sold his 20% stake in Metalloinvest in 2011 and focused more on real estate through Coalco, the development company he founded in 1994.

How Vasily Anisimov built his fortune

Anisimov made his first fortune in non-ferrous metals trading, then expanded into aluminium. Trust Company started in 1989, and after it became Transconsult, the business acquired assets including the Krasnoyarsk Aluminium Plant, the Achinsk Alumina Refinery, and the Bratsk Aluminium Smelter. Transconsult later sold its assets in 2000. That early run in commodities and industrial assets gave him the base for later deals in mining and property.

Another big chapter came with Metalloinvest. In 2004, he became a co-owner alongside Alisher Usmanov and Andrei Skoch. The company consolidated major assets in 2006 and grew into Russia's largest iron ore mining company. In 2011, he sold his 20% stake and shifted more attention to Coalco. Coalco moved into real estate and managed residential, industrial, and land projects, including large holdings in the Moscow region and work in New York City through Coalco New York and Corigin Holdings.

Forbes net worth and later business moves

Forbes estimated Anisimov's net worth at $2.1 billion on its real-time billionaires tracker as of October 20, 2026. Forbes places him in Metals & Mining, while also noting real estate as his wealth source. That mix fits his career path: he built money first in metals trading, became a partner in a major mining group, then moved more deeply into development through Coalco and kept interests in African uranium mining.

His later business activity stayed broad. In 2009, he acquired the shares of Kristall Vodka plants for 55 billion rubles, then increased his stake in the Moscow vodka factory Kristall from 51% to 86% by 2010. He also became a major investor in WAVIoT from 2011, backed a $169 million transport and unloading complex deal in 2016, and earlier invested $100 million in Corus Group from 2003 to 2005.
