Leonid Mikhelson is the founder and chairman of natural gas producer Novatek.
In 2017 he bought a 17% stake in petrochemical company Sibur from Kirill Shamalov, Putin's reported former son-in-law, increasing his stake to 48%; he now holds just over 30%.
In 2021 Sibur merged with TAIF Group, with extensive assets in the Republic of Tatarstan; among TAIF's owners are the sons of Tatarstan's first president.
Mikhelson spent more than $470 million turning a power plant across from the Kremlin into a spectacular art space GES-2, which opened in late 2021.
An avid art collector, Mikhelson has sponsored museum exhibits in Russia and the U.S through a fund named after his daughter.
Mikhelson began his career as a foreman for a construction company building a gas pipeline in Russia's Tyumen region.
