Forbes net worth timeline

Forbes valued Rotenberg at $1.1 billion on its 2018 World’s Billionaires list. That estimate later rose to $1.3 billion in 2023 and $1.5 billion in 2024. The increase tracked a portfolio built around investments and real estate, along with his earlier control of Gazprom Burenie. Forbes notes that he collected almost $560 million in dividends from that company from 2017 until 2021, before selling his shares.

The Forbes estimate then moved to $2.2 billion in 2025 and reached $2.5 billion in 2026. Another major money event came earlier, when he sold his 33.3% stake in TPS Real Estate Holdings in 2018 for $1 billion. By December 2023, he had sold all of his assets in Russian companies. Forbes still showed him at $2.5 billion on its real-time tracker in October 2026.
