| | Russia’s Unpopular Billionaires on Forbes’s List |
 | | The list of the country’s billionaires burgeoned to 17 during the past year—10 more than in 2002—thanks to high oil prices, a growing stock market that was up 35 to 40 percent last year, and greater corporate transparency. | | | Worldwide the number of billionaires year-on-year fell from 497 to 476 and their combined wealth dropped from $1,540 billion to $1,400 billion. | | | Of the 10 new tycoons on this year’s list, 5 earned their riches at Yukos or at affiliated banking and insurance conglomerate Menatep. |
