Rich people on Instagram. What the richest people in the world are showing on Instagram
Many billionaires are willing to tweet or share their news on Facebook, but Instagram is among the participants. Forbes list until it is as popular. But those who dare to install this application on their phone play by all the rules and, as expected, post selfies, photos of food and pets online.
Jeff Bezos, $72.8 billion
29.8 thousand subscribers
The head of Amazon made his first post on Instagram only a couple of weeks ago. Three out of five publications are devoted to the New Glenn launch vehicle, which is being built by Bezos' aerospace company Blue Origin. In his fourth post, the billionaire congratulated comedian Jeffrey Tambor on receiving a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Mark Zuckerberg, $56 billion
2.8 million subscribers
In fact, Zuckerberg's Instagram is not much different from millions of others: family holidays, travel, photos with colleagues, beloved dog... From time to time, photos with Barack Obama, Bill Gates and Morgan Freeman dilute the family idyll.
Michael Bloomberg, $47.5 billion
77.8 thousand subscribers
An exemplary instagram of a billionaire and philanthropist leading humanity to a brighter future: a report from the construction of a new campus at Cornell University, a speech in the EU Parliament, participation in a congress dedicated to climate change. It is rare to see Bloomberg without a tie in photographs, but such officialdom did not prevent the former mayor of New York from almost catching up with the Muppet show star Miss Piggy in terms of the number of subscribers.

Elon Musk, $13.9 billion
2.3 million subscribers
For 4.5 years, the billionaire did not even reach a hundred posts, but he earned an impressive number of subscribers. Quite expectedly, on the Musk page there are many photos of Tesla and SpaceX rockets, as well as a couple of photos of actress Amber Heard, with whom the entrepreneur recently broke up. Occasionally, selfies and old family photos appear.
David Geffen, $7.3 billion
36.6 thousand subscribers
It seems that this is how a billionaire's Instagram should look like. The creator of the record company Geffen Records uploads photos with Oprah and Madonna, sends greetings from the yacht and poses with top models. And in the profile description there is a meaningful “wiki me”.
Richard Branson, $5 billion
1.9 million subscribers
Richard Branson's Instagram is flooded with all sorts of motivators. The billionaire quotes Kant, JK Rowling and himself with equal success.
Brian Chesky, $3.8 billion
22.7 thousand subscribers
In truth, the Airbnb CEO's Instagram is incredibly boring. So it's better to immediately subscribe to the page of the taxi driver who once threw Chesky.
Joe Gebbia, $3.8 billion
12.3 thousand subscribers
Another Airbnb founder loves art, takes good photos, and knows how to wear bomber jackets.
Rocked out at Hubba, a co-working space in Bangkok, alongside entrepreneurs from around Thailand. Kicked off with an interview @woodytalk, and panel session talking startups with local execs and entrepreneurs. Thanks everyone for coming - loved the energy and passion!

Mark Cuban, $3.4 billion
803 thousand subscribers
The 59-year-old media mogul creates the image of an ideal father by posting family photos from Disneyland and videos of children's performances online.
Araz Agalarov, $1.7 billion
96.6 thousand subscribers
Another chronicle of a happy family.
Evgeny Kaspersky, $1.3 billion
15.6 thousand subscribers
Kaspersky's page is somewhat reminiscent of Zuckerberg's Instagram: travels, pictures with the team, photos from conferences ... But instead of a shaggy dog, there is a green bear.

Instagram account. So far, it is mainly devoted to charitable projects and quite a bit - to the personal life of the founder of Microsoft. These posts predictably did not bring millions of likes to Gates. "The Secret" studied what neighbors of the billionaire on the Forbes world list share, and found that they should take a few SMM lessons too.
Bill Gates
Wealth*: $86 billion
Posted by Bill Gates (@thisisbillgates) Aug 11, 2017 at 9:58 PDT
On August 15, the blogger used Instagram to wish his wife a happy birthday. She is registered in social network back in November 2013.
Jeff Bezos
Wealth: $81.7 billion
Amazon founder is another newcomer to Instagram. The first post appeared on July 20.
In just a month, the businessman made five publications. Three of them are dedicated to Bezos' aerospace company Blue Origin.
In the profile description, the entrepreneur outlined the circle of interests: Amazon, Blue Origin and Washington Post. The profile photo shows a young Bezos in round glasses and even with a head of hair.
This billionaire does not seem to be chasing network popularity - he has only 34,000 subscribers. He himself did not follow anyone.
Mark Zuckerberg
Net worth: $69.6 billion
Posted by Mark Zuckerberg (@zuck) Jul 15, 2017 at 8:01 AM PDT
Founder of the most popular social network registered on Instagram (then not yet owned by Facebook) in 2010. He did not sign the first post, but everything was clear and without words. It was a photograph of the beloved and future wife of Priscilla Chan. The next post appeared six months later - Zuckerberg posted a photo of his new MacBook Air.
Until recently, Zuckerberg could hardly be called an active user: only a hundred posts in seven years, more than half in 2017. He started posting regularly after the New Year, when he promised to travel 30 US states in 12 months. Now Zuckerberg shares pictures from trips, photographs his wife and daughters.
Unlike Gates and Bezos, Zuckerberg is an Instagram star with 2.9 million followers. The billionaire himself is subscribed to the accounts of friends, athletes and top models.
Michael Bloomberg
Wealth $52.6 billion
Posted by Mike Bloomberg (@mikebloomberg) Jul 20, 2017 at 1:11 PDT
Another owner account on Instagram, among the top ten richest people is the founder of the Bloomberg media empire, the former mayor of New York, Michael Bloomberg. He made his first post in 2012, writing about Hurricane Sandy.
In Bloomberg’s profile, you won’t be able to find a photo in slippers, in a bar or on an everyday walk - only business style. Almost all photos of the billionaire are from official meetings with influential people.
Bloomberg uses Instagram as a platform to broadcast his ideas. But despite a large number of posts (751 at the time of writing), he has only 88,000 subscribers. The businessman himself is subscribed to several people - Bill and Melinda Gates, Angela Merkel, Ariana Huffington, as well as to all Bloomberg pages on Instagram.
George Soros
Wealth: $25.2 billion
Since Oleg Tinkov deleted Instagram last June, there seems to be no one to look at online. Mikhail Prokhorov's account frozen since 2012, to Oleg Deripaska's account spread only protocol photos, Alisher Usmanov prefers YouTube. "Secret" has selected several boring accounts of Russian businessmen.
Kaspersky
Instagram of the founder of Kaspersky Lab Evgeny Kaspersky (about 16,000 subscribers) is dedicated to travel and nature. The entrepreneur takes pictures of clouds, horses, sunsets from various trips, the latest - China, New Zealand, Tien Shan, Antarctica. In an interview with The Secret, he said that he spends 400-500 hours a year on flights.
Kaspersky himself, as a real travel blogger, is also often in the frame - either he eats oysters, then he jumps into the river and bathes in an icy lake, or he circles the Sinai city wall on a bicycle. Working photos are rare. In June, Kaspersky announced on Instagram that Laboratoria had opened an R&D center in Jerusalem, and in May he posted a photo from his speech at the CeBIT exhibition in Australia.
Shcherbovich
Posted by Ilya Sherbovich (@isherbovich) Oct 22, 2017 at 1:41 pm PDT
President of UCP Investment Group Ilya Shcherbovich became widely known thanks to the purchase of a 48% stake in VKontakte in 2013. Pavel Durov claimed that the fund made a deal in the interests of Igor Sechin (Shcherbovich joined the board of directors of Rosneft in 2012). Shcherbovich repeatedly denied this, and in 2014 UCP sold the entire VKontakte stake to Mail.Ru Group for $1.47 billion.
Shcherbovich has invested in many assets, including oil, since 2011 he has held a stake in Transneft, which he sold in 2017. He first appeared on the Forbes list in 2017, journalists estimated his fortune at $ 950 million.
There are only 1000 subscribers on Shcherbovich's Instagram, he started an account recently and completely devoted it to his main hobby - fly fishing. In almost every photo he poses with a catch. Shcherbovich has been fishing since childhood, he holds several world records for fly fishing, for example, in 2015 he caught the biggest taimen on a fly (if you follow the investor’s Instagram for a longer time, you can understand what this means).
Vinokurov
Media investor (Dozhd TV channel and the Republic website), as well as co-owner of the Chaika clinic network, Alexander Vinokurov writes a lot on Instagram. He comments on the nomination of Ksenia Sobchak for the presidency, tells how the New York Times regulates the behavior of its employees in social networks, reports on exhibitions that he has visited and marathons that he has run. Beautiful black and white photos, lots of sports and family. Vinokurov often travels around Russia, on his Instagram you can peep the route for the weekend.
Lebedev
The owner of the British newspapers Independent and Evening Standard, the largest private shareholder of Novaya Gazeta, Alexander Lebedev, publishes on Instagram (136,000 subscribers) mainly photos and videos of his children - eight-year-old Nikita, six-year-old Yegor and three-year-old Arina. Often, a 57-year-old businessman through Instagram confesses his love to Elena Perminova, whom he married in 2005. This summer, he gave her a trip to the Burning man festival for her birthday, the account has many photos from this trip. Working horror stories are also found here, but quite rarely. Lebedev recently wrote a book about his fortune and business, The Secret cited an excerpt from it.
Life on Instagram is often not the same as real life user. You have probably noticed this for your friends and acquaintances more than once.
But it also happens that we follow those people whom we do not know personally. This social network has made many famous and riveted the attention of millions of subscribers, but there are those who were able to get rich in a different way.
You know all these people - they are big entrepreneurs and billionaires, the richest people in the world, and we decided to see how they live in the Internet space of one of the most popular mobile applications.
Let's check if the Instagram of billionaires is somehow different from the Instagram of ordinary people.
Mark Zuckerberg
Despite the fact that Facebook bought Instagram from its creator in 2012 for $1 billion, Mark Zuckerberg is not very active on this social network. The phlegmatic nature of the entrepreneur allows him to mainly upload photos of his family. Mark has only 127 publications, and you will not wait for stories from him.
Bill Gates
A list of billionaires on Instagram would not be complete without this man. Bill Gates has half as many publications as Zuckerberg. He probably hadn't even heard of stories. Being a philanthropist and actively involved in charity, for the most part, he uploads photos depicting African children and peoples. Bill also occasionally posts photos with his good friend Warren Buffett.
Elon Musk
"Marisian", space dreamer and one of the most famous and talked about entrepreneurs on this moment— Elon Musk. He uses Instagram more than Gates and Zuckerberg, posting multiple launches of his Falcon Heavy rockets, tests of Hyperloop vacuum high-speed trains, and presentations of new Tesla models. All this is his brainchild, and he willingly shares them with subscribers, and also does not forget about selfies.
Jack Ma
If Jack Ma had not opened his own business, then you would not be able to order anything from AliExpress. The Chinese billionaire and founder of the aforementioned shop likes to post photos of himself. He also does not hesitate to show off the covers of Forbes magazine, which he is on, photos with Schwarzenegger and smart quotes.
Richard Branson
This is the founder of the Virgin brand, which is not so widely represented in Russia. However, the group of companies includes aviation, radio, telecommunications and book companies. Richard uploads simple photos of himself, quotes and funny videos are not the topic of how he spends his time. Branson is the most active user of them all, with over 2,000 posts on his account.
Jeff Bezos
Instagram of the founder of the largest online store in the world Amazon, Jeff Bezos, is unlikely to impress avid users of this network. He has only 40 publications and it is difficult to understand anything from them. But the coolness of this video from his account just rolls over. Look.
In the world press they are called "minigars": the children of Russian billionaires, whose endless possibilities and luxurious life amaze even the sophisticated capitalist world. Anews studied the Instagrams of rich heiresses from 17 to 25 years old and brings to your attention typical frames and quotes.
Anastasia Kudryashkina, 19 years old
The daughter of the commercial director of UMMC-Holding (copper production), Igor Kudryashkin, with a fortune of half a billion dollars, is a student of the journalism faculty of Moscow State University and a singer known in her circles, releasing clips under the pseudonym Nastya Kudri. (For the sake of interest, check out the most popular example of her work on YouTube). Return in a private plane from Ukrainian Boryspil, where another video was filmed:
However, it was not vocal experiments that truly glorified her, but a grandiose banquet for her 18th birthday, which, according to estimates, cost 9 million rubles. Teenagers were entertained by the "Beasts" group and actor Pavel Priluchny as an entertainer. May holidays on the French Cote d'Azur:
A tracksuit with lurex and rhinestones is a thrill!
Julia Stakhiva, 23 years old
A 23-year-old London student, the daughter of major food industrialists either from Russia or Ukraine, skillfully shocks the public, openly showing off her “beauty, wealth and exclusivity.” She positions herself as a "TV presenter, blogger, model and jet setter", believes that she looks like a James Bond girl and proudly shares links to British tabloid articles about her.
Here are some of her statements: "I love my haters, my critics only prove how extraordinary I am." “In high society, it is important to be beautiful, slim and have beautiful hair, so cosmetic injections and plastic surgery can be safely started at a young age.” “Office work is not for me, I look too good and I am too educated. My goal in life is to become successful and influential, my friends see me as a leader, so I will not work for anyone. “I want everyone to be jealous of how beautiful I am.” “Everyone might think that I’m spoiled, but it’s not my fault that I was born into a rich family, I’m not ashamed to spend my parents’ money, I see no reason why I shouldn’t enjoy life.”
Regarding beauty: every 2 months Yulia flies from London to Moscow for a haircut and other image procedures with personal stylists, for which she rents the entire salon at once. From the age of 18, she managed to change the shape of her lips and cheekbones and is not going to stop: now the next step is breast augmentation. This is how it looked before the change:
Anastasia Koveshnikova, 20 years old
The former tennis player, whose highest achievement on the court was getting into the Russian top 100, is now studying to be an engineer and shares pictures of her wealthy youth on Instagram under the name tobeprincess ("to be a princess").
last year, Nastya tried to break into the Voice show, but she was cut off at the very first stage of the blind auditions - she sang so badly that all four mentors were shocked, and Alexander Gradsky even suggested that it was a "joke" (you can listen and watch) . However, the ridicule and criticism did not bother the girl at all.
Kristina Ozimkova, 20 years old
The daughter of a major investor and builder, Roman Ozimkov, is a student at Moscow State University and the owner of a huge number of branded items and jewelry. She especially likes to be photographed against the background of her cars (at least Porsche, Mercedes and Range Rover), although, in general, unlike other “golden girls”, she is not noticed in particular arrogance.
Holidays in the Emirates, photo caption: "My parents said I was cool"
With my friend Masha Chigirinskaya, whose Instagram we will look at next:
Maria Chigirinskaya, 19 The niece of the construction magnate Shalva Chigirinsky, the daughter of his brother-investor Alexander, has already flaunted in one of our recent photo galleries: last year her big Jewish wedding gathered almost all the main billionaires and the first stars of Russian show business in the Moscow region. One of the guests of honor was Roman Abramovich, in whose company Masha sometimes makes comfortable private flights from the Mediterranean to Moscow.
MGIMO student is a frequent guest of the Cote d'Azur, Courchevel and other VIP resorts. But the highlight of her Instagram is a photo with world celebrities. In the photo below, Masha and her husband Semyon Krutir with Robert De Niro. Officially, the actor came to Moscow for the opening of a new Nobu restaurant in mall Crocus City Mall, and at the same time was a guest star at the birthday party of one of the richest businessmen in Russia, Araz Agalarov, who heads the Crocus Group.
Diana Chervichenko, 17 years old Father - former president of the Spartak football club Andrei Chervichenko, who moved into the construction business, a longtime collector of Russian art of the 19th century (especially Aivazovsky). Sharing his hobby, my daughter is studying to be an art critic at Moscow State University.
Those who knew Diana as a child are surprised by the drastic change: she did her best to turn from a chubby teenage girl into a super-slender beauty to the envy of everyone.
He is also friends with Sergei Sarkisov Jr., the son of the head of the board of directors of RESO-Garantia, a billionaire from the Forbes list. Sergey's Instagram is much more ostentatious: under the name Black Prince (Black Prince), the guy posts his photos in the VIP cabin of aircraft, in cool cars, luxury resorts and mega parties.
Helen Manasir, 25 years old And one of the richest heirs on our list is the eldest daughter of the owner of Stroygazconsulting, Ziyad Manasir.
Blogs gossip that she and her husband share a 6-storey house, and that Helen explains it like this: “Is it bad when there is absolutely everything at home, from a pool to a workshop?” In fact, as far as one can judge from Instagram, their mansion on Rublyovka is large, but not multi-storey, although inside there is a truly palatial setting.
“Starting from a conscious age, I grew up with the feeling that I can have everything, if I just want it,” says the billionaire’s daughter, and maybe that’s why she doesn’t strive for outrageous fame and the noisy life of a socialite. She enjoys a quiet family happiness, in which villas, yachts, planes, branded clothes and silverware are just part of the usual life.
