Recent events would show that Sri Lanka has become the new zone of interest  of many billionaires. This is evident by the visit of the British businessman  Nathaniel Rothschild of the famed Rothschild family earlier this year. It would  seem that Sri Lanka has gained the interest of a similar billionaire hailing from  Russia.  

With a net worth of $ 15 billion as a result of the amassed wealth from his vast  mining operations & fertilizer production while also holding stake in  EUROCHEM (Fertilizer Company) & SUEK (Coal Company) the Russian  billionaire Andrey Melnichenko has arrived in Colombo. In this visit he is  expected to hold talks with top government officials including the Prime Minister  Mr. Mahinda Rajapaksa. Following this discussion the billionaire is also expected  to make a visit to Port City Colombo along with the prime minister.
