In 2010, Bogolyubov was reported as being the third richest Ukrainian, having a net worth of $5.429 billion. He has interests in ferroalloys, petrochemicals, and finance, and owns the largest manganese miner in Australia, Consolidated Minerals. Bogolyubov and fellow Ukrainian billionaire
Igor Kolomoisky were being sued by another Ukrainian billionaire
Viktor Pinchuk in the largest damages claim before London's High Court, for about US$2 billion, settling the case a few days before the trial was due to start. In 2025, President
Volodymyr Zelenskyy imposed sanctions on multiple oligarchs and individuals including Boholyubov on suspicion of "high treason" and assisting a terrorist organization, particularly their role in compromising national security through unfavorable business agreements with Russia. The next day, the Ukrainian Prosecutor General's Office announced the opening of criminal investigations against him and other sanctioned individuals. ==Philanthropy==
