Dmitry Yevgenyevich Rybolovlev (Russian: Дмитрий Евгеньевич Рыболовлев, IPA: [ˈdmʲitrʲɪj jɪvˈɡʲenʲjɪvʲɪtɕ rɨbɐˈlovlʲɪf]; born 22 November 1966) is a Russian oligarch, billionaire businessman, and investor.
Rybolovlev became chairman of the Russian fertilizer producer Uralkali in 1995.[2] In May 1996, Rybolovlev was arrested for allegedly organizing the murder of his business partner, Evgeny Panteleymonov.[3] He was released in 1997 after accusations against him were withdrawn.[4] In 2010, he sold his majority share of Uralkali to three Kremlin-linked oligarchs for $6.5 billion.[5] As of 2021, Rybolovlev had a reported net worth of $6.7 billion, which ranked him 391st on Forbes's list of billionaires.[6][7]
In 2008, Rybolovlev acquired a Palm Beach mansion owned by Donald Trump for $95 million, which Special Counsel Robert Mueller investigated as part of a larger probe into Trump's ties with Russia.[8] In 2018, the US Treasury listed Rybolovlev as an individual close to the Russian regime in its recommendations of Kremlin-linked entities that should be sanctioned.[9]
In 2011, Rybolovlev became the majority owner and President of Monaco's football club AS Monaco.[10] He was also embroiled in a 10-year dispute with Swiss art dealer Yves Bouvier, known as The Bouvier Affair. As part of his dispute with Bouvier, Rybolovlev was arrested and investigated in Monaco for corruption and influence peddling, as part of the largest scandal in the history of Monaco, called "Monacogate."[11][12] As a result of his dispute with Bouvier, Rybolovlev is under criminal investigations in Switzerland, Monaco, and France.[13] He is also at the heart of a corruption scandal in Cyprus involving former President Nicos Anastasiades.[14]
