Forbes Russia's new ranking shows the combined wealth of the country's richest women falling from $25.75 billion to $18.95 billion over the past year, a $6.8 billion drop attributed to falling stock prices and a sluggish consumer economy.
Wildberries founder Tatyana Kim retained the top spot for a fifth consecutive year despite her own fortune shrinking by more than $2 billion, which Forbes Russia linked to Ukrainian drone strikes on the company's warehouses along with declining share prices.
Five women fell off the billionaire list entirely, and the number of female billionaires in Russia dropped from nine to four; for the first time, the ranking includes no newcomers at all.
