The Patarkatsishvili family has established a firm to oversee the multibillion-dollar fortune of Badri Patarkatsishvili, who passed away unexpectedly in 2008 at his English estate. Following his death, his heirs faced numerous opportunists vying for a share of the billionaire’s wealth. While the family office maintained a low profile, recent developments indicate a shift towards greater transparency.
Bili Capital, the family office, has disclosed over two dozen investments in funds managed by prominent global financial institutions, including BlackRock Inc. and Ares Management Corp., through a newly launched platform. Inna Patarkatsishvili, Badri’s 70-year-old widow and the family’s de facto leader, has also relinquished her stake in the firm within the past year, as indicated by registry filings. This transition coincides with the resolution of a prolonged legal dispute regarding the estate of Georgia’s former wealthiest individual, leading to Inna’s son-in-law, Yevhen Hunyak, becoming the sole shareholder of Bili Capital.
This marks the first time a second-generation family member has taken full control of one of London’s largest and historically discreet family offices. A representative for the Patarkatsishvili family described Bili Capital as a multi-generational office managing over $1 billion in assets but did not respond to requests for further comment.
The recent disclosures provide a rare glimpse into one of the most significant fortunes that emerged during Russia’s tumultuous transition from communism to a market economy in the 1990s. Bili Capital’s newfound transparency sets it apart from many family offices, which often present minimal information on their public profiles.
According to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, at least one-fifth of the world’s 500 wealthiest individuals now operate family offices that manage a collective wealth exceeding $4 trillion. David Hawkins, founder of Cliveden Advisory, noted that Bili Capital’s openness enhances its accessibility and relatability, suggesting a desire to pursue more investment opportunities.
Bili Capital’s investment portfolio includes allocations to Silicon Valley venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz, index-fund pioneer Vanguard, and Mubadala-backed Fortress Investment Group. Additionally, the firm manages direct investments in a theme park in Georgia, a mineral-water company, and a real estate developer catering to Miami’s affluent Fisher Island community.
Badri Patarkatsishvili began amassing his fortune in the early 1990s by collaborating with Boris Berezovsky, a leading oligarch of that era, to operate the car dealership LogoVaz. The partnership later expanded to include Roman Abramovich, further solidifying their influence in the post-Soviet economic landscape.
