Forbes Hungary has published its seventh annual list of Hungary’s 50 Richest. It is yet again topped by Viktor Orbán’s friend and close ally, construction mogul Lőrinc Mészáros, followed by OTP Bank Chairman and CEO Sándor Csányi.
The business magazine notes that despite the damaging effects of the pandemic, Hungary’s wealthiest had much worse years than 2020.
The assets of Hungary’s richest man, Lőrinc Mészáros, are estimated close to HUF 500 billion, despite the fact that his main company Opus Global, the backbone of his assets, greatly suffered from the effects of the first Covid wave.
