According to Forbes 2013, Moscow has the largest community of billionaires in the world. In 2008,
Moscow had 74 billionaires with an average wealth of $5.9 billion, which placed it above New York's
71 billionaires. However, as of 2009, there are only 27 billionaires in Moscow compared with New
York's 55 billionaires. Based on Forbes' 2011-list of the world's billionaires, Moscow is the city with
the most billionaires in the world, with 79 from 115 in all of Russia. The nouveau riche, also called
the 'New Russians', often in a derogatory sense, have a reputation for flaunting their wealth; the
avenues for doing so have increased in recent times - a sense of fashion and self-consciousness has
instilled itself through the many haute couture and haute cuisine spots in Moscow.

Moscow International Business Center also referred to as New-City is a commercial district in central
Moscow. The Moscow IBC is expected to become the first zone in Russia to combine business activity,
living space and entertainment in one single development. The Moscow government conceived the
project in 1992.An estimated 300,000 people will be working in, living in, or visiting the complex
at any given time. Europe's tallest building is Mercury City Tower is constructed on the territory of
Moscow IBC. Furthermore, the complex includes third-tallest, fourth-tallest, fifth-tallest buildings in
Europe. The Federation Tower iscurrently under construction and is going to be the next tallest building
in Europe, even taller than Mercury City Tower, in 2015.

In order to manage the project, a public company CITY was founded in 1992, which is responsible
for overseeing the initial creation and development of Moscow City as well as its subsequent exploitation.
CITY is also a general contractor and both landlord and lessor. The construction of the Moscow IBC is
taking place on the Presnenskaya embankment of the Moscow River approximately 4 kilometers west
of Red Square. Before construction began, the area represented an old stone quarry where most of
the buildings were factories and industrial complexes that had been closed or abandoned. The total
cost of the project is estimated at $12 billion.
