HYPER RICH


Russia's 'secret city' is lined with huge mansions

Moscow's suburb for billionaires

According to Forbes magazine Russia now has 60 billionaires. It is quite a change for a place that 15 years ago had no millionaires, let alone billionaires.

How exactly these people have got hold of such vast wealth in such a short time is a very good question, and one many ordinary Russians would like answered.

[Fifteen years ago everything in Russia was owned by the state. Today a quarter of Russia's economy is owned by 36 men.]
