One of Russia’s Richest Men Has Become a Trip-Hop Music Artist
- Roofing magnate Rybakov releases music album devoted to wife
- Technonicol revenue surged 18% to $1.4 billion in 2018
Igor Rybakov co-founded a roofing-supply company in Russia in the 1990s, becoming one of the country’s youngest billionaires. He stepped back four years ago to focus on managing his fortune and philanthropy.
His latest endeavor is music. Rybakov, 47, released his debut album this month devoted to his wife Ekaterina. The five-track work mixes elements of trip hop and pop, with songs about yearnings for love, faith and happiness -- a typically Russian mix of romanticism and nostalgia.
