Nebius CEO Arkady Volozh Is $1 Billion Richer After Microsoft AI Deal

Arkady Volozh, the CEO of Nebius, saw a significant financial boost following a deal with Microsoft in the field of artificial intelligence (AI). His net worth surged by $1 billion, solidifying his status as a wealthy entrepreneur. Volozh’s journey to this success was not without challenges, as he spent two years separating himself from Yandex, a prominent tech company in Russia, where he previously held a position as one of the country’s wealthiest individuals. This process led him to ultimately leave Russia, likening his departure to ‘an exodus, just like in Egypt.’
