Usmanov, 60, gave almost $194 million of his $17.3 billion fortune to philanthropic causes in 2013, more than any other of the country’s top billionaires, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Abramovich, Russia’s sixth-richest person with a $13.9 billion fortune, topped the list of givers from 2010 through 2012. He declined to provide details of his spending for last year.
