Roman Trotsenko Net Worth

Roman Trotsenko has an estimated net worth of $3.6 billion, according to Forbes Real-Time Billionaires, Roman Trotsenko profile (figures as of October 20, 2026). That is up from $1.7 billion in 2018.

Roman Trotsenko is a Russian businessman and investor whose fortune now comes mainly from Novaport, which owns 22 regional airports in Russia. He was born on 12 September 1970 into a family of doctors. He is known in Russia as a dealmaker who has repeatedly bought and sold large industrial and infrastructure businesses.

In 1986 he entered the socio-economics faculty of the Institute of Asian and African Countries at Moscow State University, where he specialized in the Japanese economy and studied Japanese and English. He lives in Moscow with his wife and two children. His wife founded the Winzavod contemporary art center in Moscow, which he financed.

Trotsenko has held public roles too. He was president of the state-owned United Shipbuilding Corporation from 2009 until 1 July 2012. His name appeared in the Panama Papers, which were leaked in 2016, and in 2023 he received Russia's Order of Friendship.

How Roman Trotsenko made his money

He started early. In 1991, at age 21, he became finance director of International Medical Exchange, a trading platform for medical equipment and drugs that no longer exists. He went on to found Aeon Corporation, an investment group with interests in airports, coal mining, property development and river ports.

In 2022 he bought coal producer Vorkutaugol from fellow billionaire Alexey Mordashov's Severstal, as well as RostAgro, one of Russia's largest agricultural companies, though he later sold both. In 2024 he sold Aeon in parts to his lieutenants. His wealth now rests largely on Novaport, one of the biggest operators of regional airports in Russia. With 22 airports, Novaport gives him one of the largest airport portfolios in the country. That shift in focus from a broad holding company to airports is the main story of his recent career.

How Forbes has valued Roman Trotsenko

Forbes valued Trotsenko at $1.7 billion in 2018, $1.6 billion in 2019 and $1.3 billion in 2020. His figure rose to $2.4 billion in 2021. He did not appear on the 2022 list, then returned at $3.2 billion in 2023.

His figure was $2.8 billion in 2024 and $2.5 billion in 2025 before rising to $3.6 billion on the 2026 World's Billionaires List. As of October 20, 2026, the Forbes real-time billionaires tracker also showed $3.6 billion. His climb back reflects the airport business and gains from the sale of his other assets.
