Lőrinc Mészáros becomes richest person in Hungary

His financial status is largely influenced by his company, Opus Global, which experienced a 107% increase compared to the previous year. Despite some market fluctuations that previously reduced his wealth by 50 billion HUF, this year has showcased significant growth, particularly in the private sector of his business.
