Ion Țiriac is the second at the top of the richest Romanians. The fortune of the former great tennis player, built in the fields of automotive, real estate, sports and energy, is around 2,000 million euros. Only the brothers Adrian and Dragoș Pavăl (the owners of Dedeman) surpass it, according to the latest ranking published by Capital magazine.
Ion Țiriac, the second richest Romanian
I don’t know how I made the first million. I have no idea. He only knew how to make money, not count them like Hagi Tudose. He was talented, but he worked harder than Nastase or others, because he didn’t have their talents.
This job also affected my other activities. It was rich the first time I walked into the pub and I didn’t look at the price. A tennis player at Wimbledon loses £ 50,000 if he loses the first round. The salary of three secretaries in London and four in Bucharest for three, four years!
– Ion Țiriac, in dialogue with Ovidiu Ioanițoaia
