Chelsea football club owner and superyacht enthusiast Roman Abramovich slipped out of the top 10 richest Russians in Forbes magazine's 2013 ranking published on Thursday. The flamboyant steel, mining, real estate and telecommunications tycoon has lost $1.9 billion of his fortune and is now worth just $10.2 billion, enough for 13th place, the Forbes list said. Forbes did not explain Abramovich's fall. He is noted for having one of the world's largest yachts that he uses to travel the world, and which recently docked in New York for the birth of his son.

Former French first lady Carla Bruni's new album rose to second place in the country's music charts only a week after being released, her label Barclay Records told AFP on Tuesday. The album, "Little French Songs," sold nearly 19,000 copies on CD and was downloaded 3,794 times between its release on April 1 and April 7, the label said. Bruni, a 45-year-old Italian-born former supermodel and singer, married then-president Nicolas Sarkozy in 2008 after a whirlwind romance. The new album is Bruni's fourth and her first since 2008's "Comme Si De Rien N'Etait" (Simply).
