Yelena Nikolayevna Baturina (Еле́на Никола́евна Бату́рина) (born March 8, 1963) is a Russian businesswoman, Russia’s richest woman and the only Russian woman worth more than a billion dollars. She is the joint 279th richest person in the world. Her husband, Yuriy Luzhkov, has been mayor of Moscow since 1992.
Early lifeBaturina is a Moscow native who began working at the Fraser plant (where her parents worked) after graduating from high school.

Baturina met her future husband, Yuriy Luzhkov, in 1987 when they were both serving on the Mosgorispolkom, a Soviet-era municipal commission. They married in 1991.
Career
In 1991 Baturina founded her company, Inteco («Inteko» in Russian), which focuses on construction though it began as a plastics business. After Luzhkov became the mayor of Moscow in 1992, Inteco grew quickly, and he was accused of corruption because her company was getting municipal contracts. Inteco was controversially awarded the contract to produce 85,000 seats for Luzhniki Stadium, Moscow’s largest stadium, in 1995. At one point Inteco was said to control 20% of construction in the capital. It is now being restructured away from building projects.[5] In 2005 Inteco sold its cement works and DSK-3, a producer of prefabricated buildings, for $1.1 billion. Baturina then bought shares in Gazprom and Sberbank.
