Exploring the Complex Future of Kenes Rakishev
Kenes Rakishev, leading the devil’s dozen, has ascended from the 7th to the 6th position, augmenting his fortune by $280 million. His wealth, once at $610 million, has now reached $890 million. Rakishev’s assets encompass 100% ownership of Fincraft Group LLP, with 29% of BTA Bank JSC contributed as capital (while 68.8% is held in trust without transferring the title). In July 2019, Rakishev divested 22.5% of the Russian gold mining company Petropavlovsk to Roman Trotsenko, a name featured on the Forbes Russia list. Despite this, reports from Kommersant suggest that the Kazakh businessman is contemplating a return to the Russian mining industry, exploring the acquisition of three mines in the Far East.
