Matthias Reinhart is a Swiss entrepreneur and the co-founder, chairman and majority shareholder of VZ Holding, the financial advisory company marketed as VZ VermögensZentrum. He was born in August 1960.
He studied business administration at the University of St. Gallen, graduating in 1986, and then spent five years at the consulting firm McKinsey & Company in Zurich and Chicago before starting his own business. He left McKinsey in 1993 to start the company that would make his fortune.
Outside VZ, Reinhart is a member of the advisory board of the Neue Zürcher Zeitung, the Swiss German-language daily newspaper, and sits on the founding board of the Swiss Epilepsy Foundation. Forbes counts him as self-made: he built VZ from scratch rather than inheriting a business.
How Matthias Reinhart made his money
In 1993 Reinhart co-founded the company, first called VZ VersicherungsZentrum, with business partner Max Bolanz. Its idea was simple but new for Switzerland: bring transparency to a market where customers found it hard to compare the prices and benefits of financial products. VZ does not earn commissions for selling products; instead, clients pay fees for advice and portfolio management. That fee-only approach set VZ apart from many advisers in Switzerland.
As CEO, Reinhart expanded the business from insurance advice into broader financial planning, asset management and banking services through VZ Depotbank. VZ Holding listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange in March 2007, and the group grew across Switzerland and into Germany and the UK. He served as CEO from the founding until the end of 2022, when long-time executive Giulio Vitarelli took over, and he became chairman in 2023. As majority owner, his fortune follows VZ's share price.
How Forbes has valued Matthias Reinhart
Forbes valued Reinhart at $1.5 billion in 2019 and $1.6 billion in 2020. His figure rose to $2.5 billion in 2021 and $2.6 billion in 2022, then eased to $2.4 billion in 2023.
Since then it has climbed quickly: $3.6 billion in 2024, $4.9 billion in 2025 and $5.5 billion on the 2026 World's Billionaires List. As of October 20, 2026, the Forbes real-time billionaires tracker showed $5.6 billion, the highest of his record. His fortune has more than tripled since 2019, following the rise of VZ's shares.
