Gavril Yushvaev, a Russian entrepreneur, has a net worth of $1.7 billion.
Wimm-Bill-Dann, a milk and juice company, had Gavril Yushvaev as one of its major shareholders, and he has made his fortune through multiple investments.
He has invested his money in a wide range of sectors, ranging from car dealerships and casinos to dairy and juice ventures.
Gavril Abramovich Yushvaev was born in Makhachkala, Russia on July 23, 1957, and his family relocated to Moscow when he was very young.
He was incarcerated in 1980 for robbery at that location.
Following his release in 1989, he swiftly began business. In the early 1990s, he founded Trinity, which owned one of Moscow’s initial casinos, car dealerships, and Metelitsa, a well-known dance club in the city.
Following that, he obtained a stake in Wimm-Bill-Dann and subsequently divested his 19.6% interest to Pepsico for $1.1 billion.
He and Zelimkhan Mutsoev, a billionaire, joined forces in 2013 to acquire a 38% stake in Polyus Gold for $3.6 billion.
Moreover, he entered into a partnership with Vladislav Doronin, a former boyfriend of supermodel Naomi Campbell, and jointly invested $300 million in a 4.3 million square feet Moscow real estate project.
According to reports, the expansive real estate property will feature an 85-story tower that will house a boutique hotel, offices, a multiplex, and parking for 3,900 cars.
