Let's make this birthday one to remember.

61 years old (Born on June 26, 1963)

Happy Birthday, Mikhail Khodorkovsky! From billionaire businessman to Russia's most famous inmate—your life's journey has certainly been one for the books. Who knew that trading boardrooms for prison cells could become such a legendary career move?

Yet, your resilience and determination have inspired many around the globe. You've transformed adversity into advocacy, becoming an influential voice championing human rights and democracy. Here's hoping this birthday brings you fewer bars (the metal kind) and more celebrations filled with laughter—and perhaps cake that's richer than even your wildest business ventures.

Cheers to another year of freedom, wisdom, humor—and staying out of trouble!
