Dimitris Koutsolioutsos is a businessman who will not attend often social gatherings and parties, while his photos are not posted regularly on media. Bloomberg published an article on Mr Koutsolioutsos, since the founder and president of Folli Follie has increased its revenues almost tenfold in the last two years.
As noted by Bloomberg, Folli Follie “weathered Greece’s economic turmoil selling mid-priced items such as $60 Match & Dazzle Bracelets and $135 K Chic Handbags, and partnering with Shanghai-based Fosun International Ltd. and Basel, Switzerland-based Dufry AG.”
In the article it is mentioned that Mr. Koutsolioutsos controls 36% of the company, valued at $ 1 billion. The 71-year-old has over $ 75 million in cash and other assets derived from the sale of stocks and shares, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
It is clear, Bloomberg mentioned, that the performance of Folli Follie company contradicts to the weakness of the broader Greek economy.
It should also be noted that Mr Koutsolioutsos did not respond to the questions of Bloomberg not even via e-mail, showing the he really wants to keep a low profile.
