Dmitry Bukhman, a Russian-born entrepreneur, has been recognized as the richest individual under 40 in the UK, largely due to his success in the tech sector. At 39, Bukhman co-founded Playrix, a major player in the mobile gaming industry, amassing a personal fortune of approximately £12.54 billion. This amount constitutes more than one-third of the total £36.2 billion combined wealth on The Sunday Times 40 Under 40 Rich List. Since last year, his net worth has nearly doubled. Bukhman’s journey began in post-Soviet Russia, where he self-taught coding as a child and collaborated with his brother Igor to develop their first game using an old Pentium PC gifted by their grandfather.
