About

Rising in the Ukrainian metallurgical industry as a junior business partner of billionaire Rinat Akhmetov, he remained actively involved in church affairs before entering politics. He is one of the largest Ukrainian donors to his country, with his foundation having provided substantial assistance to Ukrainian medical and rehabilitation centres during the coronavirus pandemic and the Russo-Ukrainian War. Despite initially maintaining good relations with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the two have since fallen out, with Novynskyi leaving the country, being charged with treason and accused of aiding Russia. Novynskyi has described the charges as politically motivated.

As of July 2026, Forbes magazine estimated his net worth at US$1.2 billion. This made him one of Ukraine's six billionaires in 2026.
