Ovechkin, Shnurov and Kirkorov

Forbes magazine ranked the 50 richest and most successful Russian celebrities

From Philip Kirkorov's Instagram

Forbes magazine has compiled a ranking of the 50 richest and most successful Russian celebrities. According to tradition, pop singers, actors, TV presenters, hockey players and football players got into the top. The rating was compiled based on a combination of indicators: annual income, the number of mentions in the media and queries in Yandex.

Thus, the first line of the top 50 most successful celebrities is occupied by hockey player, Stanley Cup winner in 2018, Alexander Ovechkin, whose annual income is estimated at $ 14.5 million. Over the past year, more than 7 thousand times his name was mentioned in the media, and Yandex tried to get information about Ovechkin almost 1.7 million times. The second place in terms of totality of indicators is occupied by the soloist of the Leningrad group Sergey Shnurov. During the year, he earned $13.9 million, the media wrote about him 4.5 thousand times, but in the Yandex search, the singer's name was scored at least 4.5 million times. The third place in the ranking of the top 50 most successful stars in Russia was taken by singer Philip Kirkorov. His fortune is much more modest than Ovechkin and Shnurov, Kirkorov earned $ 8.9 million in a year, he managed to enter the top 3 ratings due to the fact that the media wrote about him at least 8.9 thousand times in a year, as well as more than 10 million people at least once scored the name of the singer in Yandex.

Interestingly, if you look at the ranking of the richest celebrities, then the top 5 would look different. Alexander Ovechkin would still remain the richest, but Sergey Shnurov, hockey players Evgeny Kuznetsov and Evgeni Malkin, singer Philip Kirkorov would follow him.

If the rating were compiled among those stars who are most often written about in the press, then the TV presenter, ex-presidential candidate of Russia Ksenia Sobchak would take the first line of the rating. TV presenter, singer Olga Buzova would be on the second line, followed by TV presenter Andrey Malakhov, singer Philip Kirkorov, and director Nikita Mikhalkov would close the top 5.

But the rating of stars, whose names users most often search for in the Yandex search engine, looks like this: the first line is occupied by a fighter without rules Khabib Nurmagomedov, whose name was entered into the search engine more than 40 million times, TV presenter Olga Buzova would take second place, and singer Yegor would take third place Creed, rapper Basta (Vasily Vakulenko) would be in fourth place, and singer Grigory Leps in fifth.
