Dmitry Rybolovlev Net Worth

Dmitry Rybolovlev has an estimated net worth of $6.7 billion, according to Forbes Real-Time Billionaires, Dmitry Rybolovlev profile (figures as of October 20, 2026). That is down from a peak of $6.8 billion.

Dmitry Rybolovlev is a Russian businessman and investor who built his fortune in fertilizer. He entered business in 1990 after studying medicine at the Perm Medical Institute and first worked with his father in a small medical enterprise. In 1992, he got a brokerage license and began buying shares in local companies. Over time, he narrowed his focus to potash and built a major position in Uralkali, a fertilizer producer in Russia.

His biggest career breakthrough came at Uralkali. He became chairman in 1995 and spent the next 15 years developing the company into a large global business. Uralkali built its Baltic Bulk Terminal in 2002, joined a single trader with Belaruskali in 2005, and completed a major IPO in 2007 that raised almost $1 billion. In 2010, he sold his stake in Uralkali for $6.5 billion. He later became majority owner and president of Monaco in 2011.

How Dmitry Rybolovlev built his wealth

Rybolovlev made his money mainly through fertilizers. After moving from medicine into business in 1990, he began trading and investing in local enterprises. He bought shares in companies including Uralkali, Silvinit, Azot, Metafrax, and Solikamskbumprom. He later focused on Uralkali and Silvinit, betting on potash when the sector drew less attention than oil and gas. That strategy gave him a path to control a valuable position in a key Russian industry.

At Uralkali, he moved from investor to builder. He became chairman in 1995, replaced the management in 2000, and pushed reforms as the company expanded. Uralkali improved logistics by building the Baltic Bulk Terminal in 2002 and reached public markets with a strong 2007 IPO. Forbes says he built his fortune in Uralkali during the privatization era and sold his stake for $6.5 billion in 2010. Outside fertilizer, he also became majority owner and president of Monaco in 2011.

Forbes net worth over time

Forbes valued Rybolovlev at $6.8 billion in 2019, then $6.6 billion in 2020. The estimate moved back to $6.7 billion in 2021, then returned to $6.6 billion in 2022. Those figures track a fortune tied to the proceeds from his Uralkali exit and later investments. Forbes also notes that he has spent roughly $1 billion on property in Europe and bought major artworks, including a canvas he sold for a record $450.3 million in 2017.

The Forbes estimate then held at $6.4 billion in 2023, 2024, and 2025. As of October 20, 2026, Forbes' real-time billionaires tracker puts him at $6.7 billion. That keeps him in a fairly narrow band over these years, rather than showing a dramatic rise or drop. By this stage, Forbes notes that he no longer appears to have business in Russia, so the picture centers more on his holdings, past sale proceeds, property, and other investments.
