About

Due to the perception that he owes his extreme wealth to his close ties to Fidesz and its leader Viktor Orbán, with whom he was childhood friends, Mészáros is one of the most controversial subjects of contemporary Hungarian social and political discourse. Since the 2010 Hungarian parliamentary election, in which Fidesz won a parliamentary supermajority sparking the Orbán era, Mészáros's wealth doubled annually and is regularly identified as Orbán's strawman. Mészáros acknowledged the significance of his relationship with Orbán, saying in 2017 that "[his] fortune is thanks to three factors: God, luck, and Viktor Orbán."
