Why sanctions have made Russians richer

Russia now has more billionaires than ever before. In the middle of sanctions, war spending, and a struggling economy, how does that even happen? In this video, I break down the surprising reality behind the latest Forbes billionaire list and what it reveals about how wealth actually works in modern Russia. While many expected sanctions to weaken the country’s richest elites, the opposite has happened: more billionaires, more combined wealth, and a system that seems to be concentrating money even further at the top.
