Igor Bukhman and his brother Dmitry own online gaming upstart Playrix.
The company is best known for free mobile-app games such as Homescapes and Fishdom.
Born and raised in northern Russia, the brothers started selling games online while Dmitry was still in high school.
Playrix now does more than $2.5 billion in estimated annual revenue.
In 2018, the Bukhman brothers acquired a stake in video and social network games developer Nexters Global.
Playrix closed its office in Russia in 2022 and relocated almost all of its 1,500 Russian employees.
