In 2004, Tatyana Kim spent $700 to create a website for Wildberries, an e-commerce business she started out of her Moscow apartment while on maternity leave.

Today, Wildberries is considered the Russian equivalent of Amazon , a booming online retailer that Forbes estimated earned $9 billion in revenue in 2024, and Kim is Russia's richest woman, with an estimated net worth of $8.1 billion.

Yet, despite her immense wealth, Kim, 50, keeps a low profile and apparently lives modestly.

Amid Russia's war with Ukraine, Kim's warehouses have come under fire from Ukrainian strikes targeting the retail facilities.

Here's how Kim makes and spends her fortune.

Tatyana Kim is worth an estimated $8.1 billion, Forbes reported, making her Russia's richest woman.
