{{original research|date=April 2018}}

The term business oligarch[1]{{failed verification|reason=No mention of 'business oligarch'|date=April 2018}} is almost a synonym of the term business magnate,{{cn|date=April 2018}} borrowed by the English-speaking and western media from post-Soviet parlance to label those businessmen who quickly acquired huge wealth in post-Soviet states (mostly Russia and Ukraine) during the privatization in Russia and in other post-Soviet states in the 1990s. Post-Soviet oligarchs are magnates who control sufficient resources to influence national politics. [2][3] A business group might be defined as an oligarch if it satisfies the following conditions:

  1. owners are the largest private owners in the country
  2. it possesses sufficient political power to promote its own interests
  3. owners control multiple businesses, which intensively coordinate their activities.&91;3&93;

A typical example of a post-Soviet oligarch entity is the Privat Group - a large Ukraine-based transnational business conglomerate comprising dozens of industrial companies in several markets, controlled by only three stakeholders, and not through the stock exchange. For the history of business oligarchs in post-Soviet Union states see:

  • Russian oligarchs
  • Ukrainian oligarchs

More generally, an oligarch is a "member of an oligarchy; a person who is part of a small group holding power in a state".[4]

Aristotle gave the concept of oligarchy some negative connotations, but the term does not necessarily imply wealth.[5]

Compare "plutocrat".

[...] Aristotle used the term oligarchia to designate the rule of the few when it was exercised not by the best but by bad men unjustly. In this sense, oligarchy is a debased form of aristocracy, which denotes government by the few in which power is vested in the best individuals. Most classic oligarchies have resulted when governing elites were recruited exclusively from a ruling caste [...].}}
