Gleb Fetisov Net Worth

Gleb Fetisov has an estimated net worth of $1.4 billion, according to Forbes Real-Time Billionaires, Gleb Fetisov profile (figures as of October 20, 2026). That is up from $1.2 billion in 2019.

Gleb Fetisov is an investor, economist and film producer who made his fortune in Russian business before moving into movies and philanthropy. Born on 5 June 1966, he holds a PhD and has worked as a professor of economics and finance. Forbes counts him as self-made. He became a citizen of Cyprus in June 2022 and lives there today.

His business career took off after he joined Mikhail Fridman's Alfa Group in 1995. At Alfa he led the group's takeover of an aluminum plant in Siberia. He also spent time in public life, serving in the Federation Council, the upper house of Russia's parliament, from 2001 to 2009. Later he turned to film, backing and producing movies for audiences around the world.

How Gleb Fetisov made his money

Fetisov built his wealth through business stakes, including a holding in the telecom company Vimpelcom. In 2014 he sold all of his business interests, cashing out for about $1.4 billion. That sale turned years of investments into cash and set the base for his current fortune. Forbes groups his wealth under investments, with telecom as the related industry.

After the sale, he put money into filmmaking. He invested $4 million in Loveless, the 2017 drama directed by Andrey Zvyagintsev, and served as one of its co-producers. The film won the Jury Prize at Cannes and earned an Oscar nomination. He also produced titles including Chef with Jon Favreau, Sobibor and Iron Mask, and he founded the European production company Fetisoff Illusion.

A remarkably steady Forbes estimate

Unlike many billionaires, Fetisov has seen little movement in his Forbes number. Forbes estimated him at $1.2 billion every year from 2019 through 2022. The figure eased slightly to $1.1 billion in 2023 and stayed there in 2024. That stability fits a fortune held largely as proceeds from a past sale rather than a big stake in a single listed company.

His estimate has edged higher since. Forbes put him at $1.3 billion in 2025 and $1.4 billion on its 2026 World's Billionaires List. As of October 20, 2026, its real-time billionaires tracker also showed $1.4 billion. He is active in giving as well. At the end of 2019, his charitable foundation in Geneva launched the Fetisov Journalism Awards to honor reporters around the world.
