According to Forbes, Boholyubov is the fifth richest person in the Ukraine and 882nd in the world. He gained his estimated net worth of $1.39 billion when he co-founded Privat Group along with Kolomoyskyy and Oleksiy Martynov. It is a publicly held banking and industrial conglomerate based in the Ukraine. It controls thousands of companies in almost every industry in the Ukraine, European Union, Georgia, Ghana, Russia, Romania, United States and other countries. Among its business interests include steel, oil & gas, chemical and energy.
