Spiros Latsis (2011)

Spiros John Latsis ( Greek Σπύρος Λάτσης Spyros Latsis ; * 1946 in Athens ) is a Greek bank manager and entrepreneur . He is considered the richest man in Greece and one of the biggest beneficiaries of the euro rescue package for the Greek banking system.

Spiros Latsis studied economics at the London School of Economics and wrote a PhD in philosophy. As the son of the shipowner and entrepreneur Giannis Latsis , who died in 2003 , he took over the management of the group.

Companies

Via the Luxembourg-based EFG Group, the Latsis family has a 49 percent stake in the Swiss EFG International AG and 44 percent in the Greek Eurobank EFG . The Latsis family also owns significant shares in the Greek oil company Hellenic Petroleum and in the Greek real estate company Lamda Development, as well as other companies such as the Swiss airline PrivatAir .

According to Forbes magazine 's The World's Billionaires , Spiros Latsis and his family had an estimated net worth of $ 5.3 billion in 2009-10. In the list of the 300 richest in Switzerland by the Swiss business magazine Bilanz , the assets of the Latsis family were estimated at around 6.5 billion francs in 2009, with a maximum of 13.5 billion francs in 2007. This makes the Latsis family one of the ten richest families in Switzerland. In 2013 it became known that Spiros Latsis had moved from Geneva to Monaco .

Since 2008, Latsis has dropped from 68th place on Forbes' list with an estimated $ 11 billion to last place 219 ($ 4.8 billion). The causes include the Greek financial crisis and the shipping crisis since 2008 .

Affairs

In 2004, the then EU Commission President José Manuel Barroso and his family spent a week of free vacation on Latsis' luxury yacht Alexander . When stricter environmental regulations for Greek ships were prevented after the yacht holidays in Brussels, this led to a motion of no confidence in the EU Parliament.

Others

In 2006 he received an honorary doctorate from the University of Witten / Herdecke .
