Marián Hossa Leads Forbes Wealth Rankings With 140 Milionů Eur

Three-time Stanley Cup champion Marián Hossa leads a group of prominent Slovak athletes in the latest wealth rankings published by Forbes, with his estimated net worth reaching 140 milionů eur. According to the report from Sport.cz, Hossa’s wealth increased by 20 milionů eur over the past year, driven largely by his family’s food production business, which specializes in pierogi and flour-based meals and ranks among the largest players in the Slovak market.

Hossa’s business ventures and investment growth

At 47 years old, Hossa has successfully transitioned from his professional hockey career into significant commercial ventures. While his portfolio benefits from the appreciation of earnings accumulated during his time in the NHL, the core of his current financial growth stems from the family-owned food manufacturing enterprise. This shift has allowed Hossa to maintain a lead among his peers in the wealth rankings, marking a 20 milionů eur increase in his total valuation compared to the previous year.

Zdeno Chára and wealth stability

Former Boston Bruins captain Zdeno Chára also features prominently in the list, sharing 50th place with an estimated fortune of 110 milionů eur. Unlike Hossa, Chára’s total net worth remained stagnant over the last year, showing neither an increase nor a decrease. The veteran defender has shifted his focus toward financial markets, dedicating his post-playing career to investments in stocks and bonds.

Marián Gáborík’s international real estate holdings

Ranking just two spots behind Chára, former forward Marián Gáborík holds an estimated 100 milionů eur. Gáborík’s wealth is heavily tied to a diverse portfolio of luxury real estate properties. His holdings span several countries, including properties in the United States, Croatia, and his hometown of Trenčín, Slovakia.

Marek Hamšík’s diverse business portfolio

The only non-hockey player included in this group of athletes is former professional footballer Marek Hamšík, who placed 57th with a net worth of 90 milionů eur. Hamšík’s business activity began while he was still active in his professional football career, where he collaborated with his father and former hockey player Michal Handzuš on several real estate projects.

Beyond real estate, Hamšík’s business interests are varied. He owns a chateau in Vlkanová and operates a children’s entertainment center. His involvement in sports continues in a professional capacity; he is active in the football scene in Banská Bystrica and serves as an assistant coach to Vladimír Weiss Sr. for the Slovak national team.
