MOSCOW, December 25 (RAPSI) – Vladimir Potanin, the billionaire CEO of the world’s largest nickel miner Norilsk Nickel, has filed a divorce application in a Moscow court.
The application says marital relations between Potanin and his wife Natalia Potanina have effectively ceased, they have no shared assets and live separately.
Potanin is the largest shareholder at Norilsk Nickel according to the Financial Times, with a fortune that Forbes estimated this year at $14.3 billion.
He made the international headlines in October when he bought the world's largest white truffle from a New York restaurateur for $95,000.
