Rustam Tariko (born 1962), one of the most successful entrepreneurs in Russian history, the owner and founder of the "Russian Standard" brand, which includes the Russian Standard Bank, consumer credit and insurance firms, plus the popular Russian Standard vodka. Unlike many Russian businessmen who created their empires through the corrupt privatization of state enterprises in the early 1990s, Tariko built his company from scratch. Wikipedia
A bachelor, Tariko is known for his parties on Sardinia Island and at Moscow nightclubs as well as his lavish lifestyle: he was the first Russian to buy a Maybach and later a Mercedes SLR McLaren. www.forbes.com/lists/2006/10/JAHI.html
