Lőrinc Mészáros

Lőrinc Mészáros Lőrinc Mészáros (born 24 February 1966) is a Hungarian businessman, and former politician, who served as Mayor of the Hungarian village Felcsút between 2011 and 2018. With an estimated wealth of 436 billion forint ($1.3 billion) as of 2022, he is, according to ''Forbes'', the third richest person in Hungary. Several media outlets refer to him as "oligarch".

His personality generates regular social discourse, because from a gas-fitter close to bankruptcy, Mészáros became the richest man of Hungary in a matter of years – what several analysts explain with him having close ties to high-ranking members of the Fidesz party. After the 2010 elections, his wealth doubled annually, and he became the mayor of the village where his childhood friend and current Prime Minister, Viktor Orbán grew up. This has led to several media outlets calling him Viktor Orbán's strawperson on a regular basis. The significance of this relationship is summarized by Mészáros in 2017: "''My fortune is thanks to three factors: God, luck, and Viktor Orbán.''" Provided by Wikipedia
