Forbes list of 10 richest Hungarians

Forbes list of richest Hungarian people was published. There is no big surprise in the lead, if not that Sándor Csányi is even richer than it has been calculated so far, szeretlekmagyarorszag.hu wrote.

The Singapore interests of OTP bank’s leader have not been calculated into his assets so far. He keeps HUF 64.5 billion in his fund called Sertorius there, at least Forbes could find this.

The total assets of Csányi are worth HUF 287.9 billion which means he entered the club of US dollar billionaires, that is, for example he is on the list of Forbes World Billionaires, even if just at the end.

This is interesting because his fortune was estimated at “only” HUF 159.5 billion, but Forbes calculated nearly the double of it with the growth of assets and the money of the Singapore fund a year after.

Where is the increase of wealth from? Csányi was involved in the sale of TriGránit, which was a huge business; he also had big income from real estate market, while he became an important actor of the energy market. But what hit really hard that he gained unshakable positions in the agriculture by the acquisition of KITE. KITE had HUF 230 billion revenue last year, it is no wonder that László Bige (whose assets are mainly from fertilizer production) – who is third on the list of Forbes – left no stone unturned to get the company, szeretlekmagyarorszag.hu wrote.
