Top rich list in Tajikistan

Tajikistan businesses develop fast, making a million or two in US dollars is not that difficult. There are problems of course like tax-evasion, necessity of protection (preferably political) and investments, but they are solvable.

In the meantime, many people in this category are wealthy enough to offer protection to others.

As a matter of fact, this category could include 500 businessmen and more because there are truly lots of powerful and wealthy businessmen in Uzbekistan. Not all of them, however, are public figures. Very many are careful to remain out of the spotlight.

This category also includes some former state officials who are not exactly compelled to make ends meet even though they are no longer in official positions of power. Either their families are wealthy nowadays (owing their fortunes, undoubtedly, to these people in the first place), or they themselves have stashed away enough against the rainy day.
