Minos X. Kyriakou (alternate spelling: Minos Kiriakou) (born May 31, 1938) is a Greek shipping magnate and businessman with an estimated fortune at US$3 billion.[citation needed] He is the President of the Greek Olympic Committee[1] and he was the President of the International Olympic Academy (IOA). He was elected to the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) council in August 2003.[2]
Info
Kyriakou is the founder and owner of ANT1 Group, a media company which owns most notably ANT1, one of the oldest and one of the first private television channels in Greece.
He owned also the Greek basketball club Panellinios BC.[3]
Problems with the law
Kyriakou owns four acres of land in Athens that are in violation of Areos Park, as some of the Panellinios Athens complexes are illegally on the premises of the Athens Municipality and the Athens Prefecture. In February 2007, a penalty of 48 months imprisonment without suspension, and a fine of €15,000 euros was placed on Kyriakou for the arbitrary construction of a cottage property in San Aimilianos in Porto Heli. Namely, the construction of a harbor that was in violation of not only the winter tide, but also the future expansion of the coastline. As a result of this, Kyriakou appealed the ruling of the court and he was then asked to pay a fee of €100,000 euros in financial security costs until the appeal trial could be held.[4][5][6]
Personal life
Since December 2004, Kyriakou has been married to the Greek actress Mari Konstantatou (b. 1971).[7]
He has two sons (Xenophon and Theodore) and a daughter (Athina), from his first marriage.[8]
He speaks Greek, English, French, Italian, Spanish, Polish, and Russian.[9] He has been awarded the Golden Cross of the Legion of Honor – Republic of Poland, Golden Cross of the order of St. George, Golden Medal of Honor – Republic of Cyprus, Golden Star of Honor – Singapore Republic, Grand Cross of the Order of the Legion of Honor – Republic of Poland.[10]
