Renata Kellnerova became the majority owner of PPF after the death of her husband Petr Kellner and has since taken an active shareholder and governance role while preserving the group as a family-controlled investment platform. [1][2][3]
The PPF fortune was inherited after Petr Kellner's death
PPF says Renata Kellnerova became the group's majority shareholder through the 2022 inheritance settlement following founder Petr Kellner's death in 2021. [1]
The inheritance agreement gave Kellnerova a 59.358% stake while each of Petr Kellner's four children received 9.893%, making the inherited PPF ownership the clear base of her fortune. [1]
PPF later said the family simplified ownership further, and by 2025 Kellnerova and her daughters had become the sole shareholders of the group. [3]
She has taken an active governance role since the succession
PPF lists Kellnerova as a member of the group's supervisory board and identifies her as a businesswoman, philanthropist and shareholder involved in the family's governance structure. [2]
The reviewed evidence supports meaningful stewardship of an inherited business empire, but the fortune still comes predominantly from PPF assets created under Petr Kellner rather than from independently created scale. [1][2][3]
