The Czech Republic's richest man, Petr Kellner got his start in the early 1990's selling office supplies. He then started an investment fund which he used to buy a controlling stake in the biggest Czech insurer during its privatization. Kellner's PFF Group is the controlling shareholder in Home Credit, a large consumer finance firm that operates in 10 countries. His other assets include a stake in listed telecom firm O2 Czech Republic, PPF Bank and commercial real estate holdings.
His family foundation endows scholarships for talented students at its Open Gate School as well as world universities. His daughter Anna, who is a member of Prague Lions horse parkour team, hopes to compete at the 2020 Olympic games in Japan.
