Billionaires in Russia seem to have sprouted-up like mushrooms after a rain.
There are a lot of them.
But the richest is little known in the West.
He is Alisher Usmanov...and he claims he does not belong among Putin's privileged oligarchs.

But after a rich start in iron ore...has moved on to make billions investing in technology...and telecoms.
