Forbes: Pinchuk Tops Akhmetov As Ukraine's Richest Man

Times are tough.

Viktor Pinchuk, net worth $2.6B, has taken the lead in Ukraine, according to the The World’s Billionaires 2009, beating Rinat Akhmetov, net worth $1.8B.

Compared to last year’s rankings, Ukraine has lost three billionaire slots.

It’s even more of a cold shower if you compare it to the June 2008 rankings by Korrespondent/Dragon Capital.
