Yesterday a leading Hungarian daily (Népszabadság) released the rank list of the 150 richest Hungarians. Pestiside gives a brief summary, like the staggering result that the wealthiest Hungarian - according to the study – is actually a Russian. And adds “Most interesting of all is the poor showing of Hungary’s forint billionaires vis-à-vis their peers in the region. According to Népszabadság, not a single Hungarian is among the 100 richest Eastern Europeans, even though almost every country in the region is represented on that list. “

[Henrik’s note: Well, welcome to Hungary . Also according to a report I heard with the author of the article there are most probably thousands of rich people in Hungary who would easily make it to the top charts on this list, but journalists are unable to get data about them. But I guess that would be the same in any similar list in any country… ]
