About Me

Alisher Usmanov made his first fortune producing plastic bags, a commodity so scarce in the former Soviet Union that people washed and reused them Uzbekistan-born Usmanov, who has family ties with President of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev, moved to Tashkent in 2022. 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. An ex-fencer, Usmanov has led the International Fencing Federation since 2008; he was re-elected in 2022 and 2024 but voluntarily suspended his duties after the sanctions.
