Sir Leonard Valentinovich Blavatnik[a] (born June 14, 1957) is a Soviet/Ukrainian-born British-American businessman and philanthropist. As of January 2024, Forbes estimated his net worth at $31.3 billion.[2][3] In 2017, Blavatnik received a knighthood for services to philanthropy.[4]
Blavatnik made his initial fortune, alongside other Russian oligarchs, after the collapse of the Soviet Union in the privatization of state-owned aluminum and oil assets.[5] Some have criticized Blavatnik for allegedly reputation laundering to avoid scrutiny.[6][7][8] He owns most of Warner Music Group and has stakes in several publicly traded assets via his privately held Access Industries Holdings.[9]
