London | Russia’s richest man, Vladimir Potanin, has taken the dispute with his ex-wife to the UK’s top court to try to avoid facing one of the world’s largest divorce claims, as he warns against the “generosity” of the British courts.
Lawyers for the sanctioned billionaire asked Supreme Court judges on Tuesday to overturn a previous ruling that cleared the way for Natalia Potanina to renew her multilbillion-dollar claim in London. Mr Potanin has a net worth of $US29.3 billion ($46.2 billion), according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
