Vadim Novinsky (born 3 June 1963) is a Ukrainian (since May 2012) businessman, owner of Smart Holding Group, and politician. According to Forbes Novinsky's Net Worth in March 2013 was $1.9 billion.

Novinsky was born 3 June 1963 in Staraya Russa (then USSR, now Russia). In 1985, he graduated from the Leningrad Academy of Civil Aviation in engineering management systems.

From 1985 till 1986 he worked for various companies in Russia. Novinsky worked in Ukraine since 1996 starting with Lukoil North West and then buying Ukrainian metallurgy companies.

On 29 May 2012 Novinsky obtained Ukrainian citizenship "for distinguished services to the country" under the order of Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych. Novinsky lives in Kiev. He also has a residence in Saint Petersburg (Russia).

The general public better known him as a Russian oligarch, who made his major fortune in the "dashing 90-e" on privatization of many Ukrainian enterprises. He received Ukrainian passport in 2012 from the hands of the fugitive President Viktor Yanukovich for "the services rendered to Ukraine”. Probably Yanukovich considered as the services Novinsky`s membership in the hunting club "Cedar" which is on 100 acres of the protected forest lands next to the residence of Mezhygorye famed for its stunning luxury which has become a symbol of corruption and waste today. In February 2014 a video appeared Ukrainian in which President Petro Poroshenko called Novinsky "an Orthodox slut. He supports Russian interests in Ukraine in particular the Ukrainian branch of the Russian Orthodox Church -- often considered a Russian "Fifth Column" in Ukraine. He is on record as involved in semi-criminal or outright criminal activities
