Andrey Kosogov was never meant to assume this much power in the world of Russia’s billionaires.
He’s long served as a trusted partner to the more well-known — and wealthier — oligarchs Mikhail Fridman and Petr Aven at Alfa-Bank and LetterOne. But he’s kept a low profile, never extending his reach to the West with charitable foundations or being linked to luxury London real estate like his counterparts.
