For the past 12 years the Georgian Times has been conducting an annual business rating to reveal the best companies and businessmen of the year. This time we made up a top 80 rich Georgians of the planet on the basis of the data provided by independent experts and famous businessmen (who requested anonimity).
The capital of the wealthiest Georgians reflects the volume of assets and liabilities, business and the market share that these people are holding.
The list of the richest Georgians of the world is being published for the first time and may contain some minor inaccuracies which will be improved in the future.
The winner of the rating is the person who has the biggest capital. The richest people of the world are usually ranked according to their activity on the stock exchanges. Unfortunately, we cannot apply the same method as most of the people on the list do not show transparent record of their wealth.
The reason why we are publishing the list is simple: almost every country in the world ranks their rich according to their property. We have the same motivation to do the ranking. It is not up to us to judge how these people have amassed their fortune. We believe that the more wealthy Georgians we will have, the better for our country.
All the people on this list are of Georgian origin. All of them can be a big potential for future investments for Georgia. We urge the government to improve investment climate and conditions for doing business to make this happen.
Here is the list of the richest Georgians of the world. The figures are given in the US dollars.
