Biography

Overview

Michał Sołowow was born on July 11, 1962, in Kielce, Poland.
He began his career in the late 1980s by establishing the construction company Mitex in Kielce.
In 2002, he sold Mitex to French investor Eiffage, marking a significant milestone in his career.
Sołowow invested the proceeds from Mitex's sale into the emerging Polish stock market.
He strategically took his companies private over the years, including Barlinek and Cersanit, two leading building materials producers.
In 2018, he also privatized his main listed asset, the chemical group Synthos.

Business Empire

Sołowow's industrial group spans 18 production plants across 8 countries and sells products in over 60 countries worldwide, employing over 16,000 individuals.
He is the sole shareholder of key companies such as Synthos, Cersanit, and Barlinek, which form the core of his capital group.
His investments extend across various sectors, including chemicals, ceramic tiles, wood flooring, real estate, technology, and biotechnology.
Sołowow manages his assets through several funds, including Black Forest SICAV-SIF, FTF Columbus Fund, and Magellan Pro-Equity Fund I S.A.
He actively participates in IPOs via IPOPEMA 112 FIZAN fund, investing in companies like Genicore and OncoArendi Therapeutics.
Notably, Synthos Green Energy S.A., a company within his group, signed a groundbreaking agreement with GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy for potential nuclear power plant construction in Poland.

Closed Investments

Throughout his career, Sołowow has made several successful closed investments, including the sale of Max, NOMI, and Exbud in the 1990s.
He also divested stakes in companies like Viscoplast and Mitex, which he founded in the 1980s and later sold to major international players.
Notable exits include the sale of Echo Investment in 2015, a real estate development company he founded in 1994.
Sołowow's strategic divestments have contributed to his entrepreneurial success and wealth accumulation.

Rally Career

Aside from his business ventures, Sołowow pursued a passion for rally driving, beginning his professional career in 2001.
Sponsored by his companies Synthos and Cersanit, he achieved notable success, becoming European vice-champion in multiple years and vice-champion of Poland.
He temporarily suspended his rally career in 2015 but resumed it in 2020, showcasing his determination and multifaceted interests.

Michal Solowow is very wealthy, but what's stopping you from reaching that same level of success? As summarized in our five fundamental rules to wealth building, becoming wealthy in a modern capitalist economy is not complicated. There's actually only three variables:

  1. Your starting capital
  2. Your earnings after expenses
  3. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of your savings

Most people start with zero or very little, so if you weren't born into wealth, don't fret! The majority of the fortunate folks listed in our Grizzly Bulls’ Billionaires Index came from middle class or lower backgrounds. The most distinguishing characteristic of the group is their ability to consistently earn a high CAGR on their savings.

Every billionaire has a unique strategy to achieve high CAGR. For Michal Solowow, Investments is the primary source. Whether you choose to invest your savings in your own businesses or the businesses of others is not as important. The salient piece of the puzzle is ensuring that your hard-earned savings are generating sufficient CAGR to reach your long term goals.

Most people simply invest their money in index funds and call it a day. There's nothing wrong with this approach, but it guarantees relative mediocrity. To achieve greatness, you need to invest your money to earn higher than average returns. In the long run, better investors will always finish ahead of better earners.
