    Anastasia Potanina, daughter of metals giant Vladmir Potanin

    The 28-year-old Russian is the daughter of Vladmir Potanin, the metals and media magnet who owns Russian versions of MTV, VH1 and Cosmopolitan magazine.

    Beyond just being rich and beautiful, Anastasia was a world champion in aquabiking, which is essentially competitive jet skiing.

    The heiress is also a very good skier, in part thanks to the indoor slope her father built for her at his home in Moscow.

    After breaking her leg, Anastasia has quit aquabiking to pursue a career in sports management.
