His fortune was estimated at $ 11.4 billion last year.
Russian oligarch Mikhail Prokhorov arrived in Israel on March 24 from Switzerland. This was reported by local media, citing a source in the Israeli Civil Aviation Authority.
“The oligarch at the airport expressed his intention to repatriate because his maternal grandmother is Jewish,” the media quoted his insider as saying.
The press service of the Prokhorov Investment Fund confirmed that the oligarch had arrived in Israel, according to Russian media. However, the reason there is not the probable acquisition of citizenship, but the need to visit one of the medical institutions in Israel.
Last year, Forbes estimated Prokhorov's fortune at $ 11.4 billion. The oligarch, thus, took 14th place in the list of richest entrepreneurs in Russia.
