Andrej Babiš Net Worth

Andrej Babiš has an estimated net worth of $4.1 billion, according to Forbes Real-Time Billionaires, Andrej Babiš profile (figures as of October 20, 2026). That is up from $3.5 billion in 2019.

Andrej Babiš is a Czech businessman and politician who leads ANO and has served as Czech prime minister since December 2025. He previously held the same job from December 2017 to December 2021. Before that, he was minister of finance and deputy prime minister from 2014 to 2017. His business name is closely tied to Agrofert, the large holding company that made him one of the richest people in the Czech Republic.

He built his fortune through Agrofert after getting his start as a fertilizer trader and gaining foreign trade experience while working in Morocco. In 1993, he became managing director of Agrofert in the Czech Republic and later turned it from a trading business into a broad group with agriculture, food processing, chemicals, media, and renewable energy interests. Forbes says his wealth comes from Agrofert, which runs more than 210 companies.

How Andrej Babiš makes money

Babiš made his money mainly through Agrofert, a company he helped build into one of the biggest business groups in the country. The business started in trading and wholesale, then expanded through acquisitions into agriculture, food processing, and chemicals. Forbes places him in Food & Beverage and ties his wealth to agriculture. Agrofert also reaches beyond farming, with operations that include renewable energy and media.

His career moved from business into politics, but Agrofert stayed central to his wealth story. Forbes says he gave up daily management of the company in 2013. Before an election, he was required to place Agrofert into trusts to follow a Czech conflict-of-interest law. Wikipedia also notes that Agrofert bought MAFRA in 2013, adding major newspapers and a television company, and that the group later owned Radio Impuls.

Forbes net worth timeline

Forbes estimated Babiš at $3.5 billion in 2019, then $3.2 billion in 2020. The number returned to $3.5 billion in 2021 and climbed to $4.4 billion in 2022. Forbes says the underlying fortune comes from Agrofert, the large group behind his agriculture-linked wealth. Because that business spans many sectors, changes in the company group can have a big effect on how Forbes values his stake.

After 2022, the Forbes estimate moved down to $4.1 billion in 2023 and later reached $4.6 billion on the 2026 World's Billionaires list. As of October 20, 2026, Forbes' real-time tracker put him at $4.1 billion. Over time, the main constant is Agrofert itself: a self-made fortune built from fertilizer trading, foreign trade experience, and ownership of a company group with more than 210 businesses.
