67,651 business owners in Ukraine own companies with revenues exceeding UAH 10 million.

Follow the leaders on the Ukrainian Business Owners Ranking page. If you own a company and your business submits financial statements on time and regularly, look for yourself in the list.

«We decided to set the starting point for the ranking at company owners with revenues of UAH 10+ million. This is exactly the threshold where the simplified tax system no longer applies and the point beyond which an activity truly becomes a business—with structuring, reporting, and all taxes»,

— explains Oleksii Ivankin, CEO of Opendatabot.

The largest share of business owners is concentrated in the capital, accounting for 22% of the total. The Dnipropetrovsk region (10%) and Lviv region (8%) also rank among the top three. If we add Kyiv region and Odesa region, half of all business owners in the country are concentrated in these five regions.

In contrast, the lowest concentration of business owners is found in frontline regions: Mykolaiv region (1%), Luhansk region (0.7%), and Kherson region (0.6%).

To make it into the top 100 leaders of Ukrainian business, a company must have annual revenue exceeding UAH 8.99 billion. The entry threshold for the top 1,000 is significantly lower — from UAH 1.29 billion per year.

80% of business owners in Ukraine earn less than UAH 100 million annually. Only 2% of business owners have revenues above UAH 1 billion — that is 1,355 businesspeople.

70% of business owners in the top 100 have Ukrainian registration. The top five also include company owners registered in Cyprus, the United Kingdom, the United States, and Switzerland.

The top ten entrepreneurs by company revenue include names well known to Ukrainians. Rinat Akhmetov remains in first place: his companies together generated about UAH 565.7 billion in revenue. He is followed by Vitalii Antonov, registered in Switzerland and the owner of the OKKO network — his businesses brought in UAH 151.7 billion. Third place goes to Yurii Kosiuk, the owner of MHP, with revenue of UAH 110.6 billion. The top ten also includes representatives registered in Israel, Cyprus, and Monaco. The only woman in the top ranking is Svitlana Ivakhiv, the owner of WOG, KOMO, and Halychyna. She ranks 9th, with company revenues of UAH 48.75 billion.
