Oleksandr Vladylenovych Yaroslavskyi (Ukrainian: Олександр Владиленович Ярославський; born 5 December 1959) is a Ukrainian businessman. He was formerly co-owner of UkrSibbank and president of FC Metalist Kharkiv (2005-2012). Yaroslavskyi is the president of DCH (Development Construction Holding) and one of the most influential people in Ukraine according to Ukrainian and Eastern European media. In 2016, Forbes ranked him among the top ten richest people in Ukraine. In November 2018, Russia imposed sanctions against 322 citizens of Ukraine, including Yaroslavskyi. In 2022, during Russian invasion of Ukraine, Yaroslavskyi announced that he planned to sell his $50 million Kaiser yacht to rebuild Kharkiv, after the outbreak of war. However, a few months later, he withdrew the yacht from sale. Photos from the yacht were posted by Yaroslavskyi's wife Marina. According to the head of the Kharkiv regional military administration, Oleh Sinegubov, Yaroslavskyi said in the first week of the Russian invasion that he was unable to assist the Ukrainian Defense Forces.^[1] Yaroslavskyi himself, who promised to sell his yacht for the sake of rebuilding the city but has yet to do so, has been spotted several times vacationing in France.^[1]
