Unlike Mr Abramovich, most of them live in Moscow,
which, if I'm not much mistaken, makes the Russian capital home to more
billionaires than any other city in the world.
It is quite a change for a place that 15 years ago had no millionaires, let alone billionaires.
How exactly these people have got hold of such vast
wealth in such a short time is a very good question, and one many
ordinary Russians would like answered.
It is one reason why Russia's richest people like to keep their identities and their lifestyles secret.
Secret city
Ever since I arrived in Russia I've heard
tall stories of a secret city deep in the forests outside Moscow where
the rich indulge their fantasies in sprawling palaces of marble and
gold. It sounded like a good story. I didn't expect it to be true, let
alone that I'd get an invite.

My question is on the following sentence.
How exactly these people have got hold of such vast
wealth in such a short time is a very good question, and one many
ordinary Russians would like answered.
It started with 'How' . So there should be a question mark at the end of the sentence.
Is it grammatically correct. I am not comfortable with the words 'would like answered' at the end. Is it correct?
It would be fine to say something like 'ordinary Russsians would like to know the answer'.
For me, to write 'ordinary Russians would like answered' sound strange.
