According to this year’s Forbes’ list, three Greeks and three Cypriots are ranked between the richest people on the planet.

Spiro Latsis is in the 506th place of the Forbes’ list with 3.2 billion dollars in property. Spiro Latsis is one of the strongest men in Greece’s shipping industry. He is the son of the tycoon John S. Latsis and has been managing the family fortune since his father passed away in 2003.

Aristotelis Mistakidis and Philip Niarchos are placed in the 687th position with their property amounting to 2.5 billion dollars. Philip Niarchos is the oldest son of Stavros Niarchos, one of the world’s richest shipping magnates. He inherited the bulk of his father’s art collection which includes some of the world’s most recognizable pieces of art. It is said to be the largest private collection of Van Goghs, including a self-portrait of the painter after having cut off his own ear. Niarchos also owns some of the most emblematic works by the Spanish artist Pablo Picasso.

The three Cypriots included in the Forbes’ list are: the shipowner John Fredriksen in the 76th place with a property of 13.6 billion dollars. Fredriksen gave up his Norwegian citizenship for a Cypriot passport in order to escape high taxes. EasyJet’s founder Stelios Haji-Ioannou is in the 520th place and his brother Polys is in the 988th place.
