Tatyana Bakalchuk, the founder of Russian e-commerce giant Wildberries, has become the country’s richest self-made businesswoman with an estimated net worth of $7.4 billion. Her journey from an English teacher to a successful entrepreneur started with a small investment of Rs 32,000 during her maternity leave. Now, Wildberries, often called the ‘Amazon’ of Russia, employs 48,000 people and generates billions in revenue. Despite her immense wealth, Bakalchuk remains grounded and continues to take risks to fuel the growth of her business empire.
