accepted explanation is that it is the result of the
evolution of the Spanish and Mexican

early nineteenth-century manuscripts, explains
that the s gradually came to be
written over the p developing a close equivalent to
this sign.

world. Everyone above him on the list was at least ten years

1992-95. But most of his wealth came from buying
companies cheap when Russia was privatizing its state run
firms. He bought himself a majority stake in Sibneft, an oil
company, and later merged smaller companies to form
Rusal, the world’s second largest aluminium producer. In
1999, he was elected to his country’s parliament. He also
bought the UK’s second most expensive car registration
