Abramovich

Do you think college, a degree or phd will make you rich? Read this:

Abramovich lost his parents as a child, dropped out of college and then made a small fortune in a series of oil export deals in the early 1990s. His fortunes took off in 1995, when he teamed up with Russia’s most powerful crony capitalist, Boris Berezovsky, to take over oil giant Sibneft at a fraction of its market value. When Berezovsky fled Russia in 2000 to escape fraud charges; Abramovich bought out his stakes in Sibneft and the ORT television network. Also bought half of Russia’s largest aluminum company. Today he’s governor of the impoverished arctic region of Chukhotka, but retains investments through his British-registered holding company, Millhouse Capital.
