Bidzina Ivanishvili (Georgian: ბიძინა ივანიშვილი; born 18 February 1956, Chorvila) is a Georgian politician and businessman. Ivanishvili was stripped of his Georgian citizenship in October 2011, shortly after announcing his intention to form a political party to challenge the president Saakashvili. . In March 2012, Ivanishvili, the leader of an opposition coalition Georgian Dream, was ranked at 153 in Forbes magazine's annual list of the world's billionaires with an estimated worth of USD 6.4 billion, making him the richest Georgian in the world.

Bidzina Ivanishvili was born the youngest of five children to a poor family in the Georgian village of Chorvila. His father worked in a manganese factory. He graduated high school in Sachkhere and went to Tbilisi State University to study engineering and economics. In 1982, he went to Moscow to pursue a Ph.D in economics at the Moscow State University of Railway Engineering.

He met Vitaly Malkin, with whom he formed a partnership selling computers, and later importing what was then a novelty in Russia, push-button telephones. The source of his wealth is metals and banking. Forbes's description of the secret of his success could apply to dozens of other oligarchs: "He bought firms that nobody needed for tens of millions of dollars and sold them for billions of dollars." In 1990 they set up Rossiysky Kredit, still Ivanishvili's biggest holding. Over the years, he has sold other businesses he accumulated during Russia's privatization era, investing the proceeds in the Russian stock market. He has interests in hotels, including Hotel Lux, and a Russian chain of drugstores called Doctor Stoletov.
