Nikita Mishin Net Worth

Nikita Mishin has an estimated net worth of $1.2 billion, according to Forbes Real-Time Billionaires, Nikita Mishin profile (figures as of October 20, 2026). That is up from $1.1 billion in 2011.

Nikita Mishin is a Russian businessman who made his fortune in rail freight and ports. With partners Konstantin Nikolaev and Andrei Filatov, he co-founded Globaltrans, which grew into Russia's biggest private rail operator. He was born on August 29, 1971.

Mishin received his bachelor's degree from Moscow State University in 1993. He acquired Cypriot citizenship in 2015, and he has lived in the United Kingdom for more than a decade; since 2024 he has also held British citizenship. He was once a member of the Expert Council of Russia, described as a non-governmental body of advisers. Over the years he gradually moved away from Russia, first gaining Cypriot and then British citizenship while winding down his stakes in Russian companies.

He is married and has three children. Mishin founded the charity fund Dar, which helps gifted children, including those from low-income families, study under modern educational programs.

How Nikita Mishin made his money

Mishin and his partners first worked together at a railroad freight company. They went on to build Severstaltrans, now called N-Trans, which Mishin helped found, and which held stakes in rail and port businesses. The partners together owned roughly one third of Globaltrans, the rail operator that became the largest private train operator in Russia. The three men stayed partners for decades, building and later selling their transport businesses together.

They also built a ports business, Global Ports. In December 2017 the partners sold their stakes in Global Ports and left the port business. In January 2024 Mishin sold his shares in Globaltrans, completing his exit from the rail company that made him rich. His fortune today reflects the proceeds of those sales and his other investments rather than an active operating business in Russia.
