He entertained the best of nobility with a sense of humility and purpose. His larger than life personality, great sense of humor and rugged looks made him the city’s most respected businessman. He was a visionary with a passion for work, who lived life on his own terms. The beginnings were modest and mostly confined to food commodities.
