Stepan Ivakhiv - The Invisible Man

Net Worth: $156 million

Age: 41

Marital status: Married, one son

Last year: $499 million

Industry: Petrochemicals, food industry, finance

At the end of August, Stepan Ivakhiv, president of Kontinium, laid the first stone in the construction of the retail and entertainment center PortCity. Investment in the project is planned at $100 million. This ceremonial event forced one of the country’s least public millionaires into the spotlight. However, he emerged only briefly before returning behind the scenes. Igor Yeremeyev’s business partner probably doesn’t like publicity. One way or another, Ivakhiv is an active entrepreneur. His name shines in a variety of sectors of the domestic economy. He’s a builder, food industry worker, fuel retailer and, since 2005, a banker. He works as a member of the supervisory council at the Bank of Investment and Savings, of which he owns 24.9 percent. He plans to make the bank one of the country’s 30 largest (at the moment it is in the top 80).
