Alekperov’s 28-year-old son Yusuf is expected to inherit the 68-year-old’s entire $21.8 billion fortune, making him Forbes Russia’s richest scion for at least the fourth year in a row.

The second spot remained unchanged from 2018, with gas magnate Leonid Mikhelson’s daughter Viktoria expected to inherit half of his $24.4 billion.

Steel tycoon Vladimir Lisin’s daughter and two sons share the third spot at $7.6 billion each, surpassing the children of industrialist Andrei Melnichenko, who held the spot in 2018.

Banker Roman Avdeev’s 23 children were named the “poorest” scions this year with an inheritance of $74 million each.

Forbes Russia published its first-ever “30 under 30” list featuring up-and-coming entrepreneurs, artists and athletes on Wednesday.
