Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmygal earlier said that the Ukrainian economy could drop by as much as 50 percent against the backdrop of attacks on Ukraine's energy system and other critical infrastructure.

Grammarly co-owners Maxim Litvin and Alexander Shevchenko come second and third with $2.3 billion each.
