The Russian oligarch Mikhail Fridman said in an interview that he didn't know how to live, three weeks after coming under sanctions, Bloomberg reported.
Fridman, who has a net worth of $10.1 billion, Bloomberg's Billionaires Index said, was sanctioned by the European Union on February 28 and by the UK on March 15.
He described the EU's sanctions as "groundless and unfair" at the time and said he would contest them, Reuters reported.
Since the invasion of Ukraine began, Fridman's wealth dropped by $4 billion, Bloomberg reported.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mikhail_Fridman2016-2017 – It is reported in several media outlets that there had been activity between computer servers belonging to Alfa-Bank and the Trump Organization.[30][31][32] The FBI investigated the activity in the context of links between Trump associates and Russian officials and concluded that there were no such links[33] and that there might be "an innocuous explanation, like marketing email or spam".[34] Through September 2021, U.S. government investigators had been unable to explain the activity, though a 2018 analysis had concluded there were "reasons to doubt that marketing emails were the cause". A Senate report accepted the FBI's assessment that the activity was "unlikely to have been a covert communications channel" but said there was no explanation for this "unusual activity."[35]
