The newly expanded Forbes ranking also reveals a changing picture among the country’s other wealthiest, with 32 newcomers making their first appearance in a 100-strong rich ranking list.

Mészáros has an estimated fortune of HUF 1,785.7 billion, according to Forbes Hungary, putting him well ahead of Csányi, whose wealth is estimated at HUF 649.7 billion.

Mészáros’s business interests now span banking, agriculture, construction, energy, food and tourism. His main interests include Opus Global, Talentis Group, MBH Bank, V-Híd and Hunguest Hotels.

Zsolt Felcsuti ranks third with estimated assets of HUF 587.6 billion, followed by Tibor Veres with HUF 567.7 billion and László Szíjj, owner of civil engineering company Duna Aszfalt, with HUF 530.6 billion.

The rest of the top 10 comprises Gábor Széles with HUF 326 billion, Dániel Jellinek with HUF 314.1 billion, Ruslan Rahimkulov with HUF 278.8 billion, Timur Rahimkulov with HUF 276.4 billion and István Garancsi with HUF 271.9 billion.

Hungary has six dollar billionaires on the latest Forbes global ranking. Gábor Széles has entered the group, while Gattyán György is no longer among the Hungarian dollar billionaires listed.

Forbes has expanded its annual rich list in Hungary this year from 50 to 100 people. The combined estimated wealth of those listed is approaching HUF 13,000 billion, with more than half held by the 20 wealthiest people.

The latest ranking is based primarily on company results from the 2025 financial year, with Forbes applying its own methodology to estimate the value of private and publicly traded assets.
