Baturina is one of the largest investors in Russia's real estate market. Nevertheless, presently, she prefers to establish her foundations in Europe and the United States. Being a versatile person, Elena is always open to a new interesting project. In 2019, she decided to go into the cheese business. Elena Baturina was able to multiply her capital by $100 million over the year. In a Forbes interview, she said: "I don’t think that women need any kind of preference because preferences are for the weak. But we women are not weak."
Tatiana Bakalchuk
Tatiana is one more example of a successful female billionaire in Russia. She is the founder of the country's largest online store, WildBerries. The idea of creating such a large-scale project came to Bakalchuk when she was on maternity leave. By 2019, the online store has already had a five-thousand-order pick-up point. The crisis triggered by the coronavirus pandemic did not affect her business. On the contrary, it was a blessing in disguise that opened up new horizons for growth. WildBerries started its work in Europe. The range of goods in WildBerries includes almost 2.6 million items. Every day, 7 million customers visit the website, and the number of orders per day reaches 750,000. No wonder, Tatiana generated $100 million over the year with her capital amounting to $1.1 billion.
