About Me

His largest holding is his stake in iron ore and steel giant Metalloinvest. He also owns stakes in Xiaomi and other telecom, mining and media companies. An early Facebook investor and metals magnate, Alisher Usmanov was hit with U.S., U.K. and EU sanctions in the wake of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Usmanov headed Gazprom Investholding, a subsidiary of state-run conglomerate Gazprom, from 2000 to 2014.
