Vladimir Lisin
Net Worth: $ 4.8 billion
Primary Source: Novolipetsk Metallurgical , metals
Age: 48
Marital Status: married, three children. A proletarian success story, Lisin's career began in 1975 when he took his first job--as a welder in a coal mine. Later he took a job as a steel worker, rose up the ranks, earned further educational degrees and eventually became deputy head of one of the USSR's biggest steel mills. In 1991, when his boss was appointed Minister of Metallurgy, Lisin came with him to Moscow. In 1992, Lisin joined up with a tough group of traders who called themselves the Trans-World Group. They came to dominate Russia's aluminum and steel exports. Lisin managed the factories. When the partners went their separate ways in 2000, Lisin got a majority stake in Russia's giant Novolipetsk steel mill as his share.
Dmitry Anatolyevich Medvedev
Chairman of the Gazprom Board of Directors, First Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation
Dmitry A. Medvedev was born on September 14, 1965, in Leningrad. He graduated from Law Department, Leningrad State University, in 1987. Upon completion of the post-graduate program at the University in 1990, he obtained Ph. D. (Law), and assistant professorship. Mr. Medvedev taught at St. Petersburg State University from 1990 to 1999. From 1990 to 1995 he served as Adviser to the Chairman, Leningrad City Council, and Expert Consultant, Committee for External Relations of the St. Petersburg Mayor's Office.

Mr. Medvedev was appointed First Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation on November, 2005
Experts characterize Medvedev as 100% a Putin protege, part of the group of “Petersburg lawyers,” along with Dmitry Kozak, Presidential Envoy to the Southern Federal District. Throughout his years working in the Presidential Administration, Medvedev is said to have deliberately avoided aligning himself with either the camp of the security service officials (the “siloviki”) or the group around Alexander Voloshin (one of the major figures of the so-called “family” of the Boris Yeltsin era and Medvedev’s boss in the Kremlin until October 2003, when he resigned and was replaced by Medvedev). Medvedev is considered Putin's appointed successor following his November 2005 appointment as First Deputy Prime Minister.
Married, with one son (Ilya, born 1996).
