Hans Peter Wild didn’t just make friends, by taking aim at other competing clubs at his Stade Français, in the Top 14. The president and owner of the Ile-de-France club is a man of influence, in the business world it is safe to say that he has succeeded. He is in fact, in French rugby, the richest boss of the elite championship.
Hans Peter Wild and Mohed Altrad, the billionaires of the Top 14
His father created the food flavoring and coloring manufacturer, Wild Flavors, which son Hans Peter sold in 2014 for $3 billion. At 82 years old, he still maintains and directs the company Capri-Sun, which produces drinks mixing water with fruit juice concentrate and whose dimension is international. Forbes magazine estimates his personal fortune in 2023 at $3.4 billion. He is ahead of Mohed Altrad, the boss of Montpellier Hérault Rugby, at this level.
Jacky Lorenzetti completes the podium with a fortune of more than €800 million
Altrad operates in the world of construction. His eponymous group is the world leader in scaffolding. Starting from nothing, the man who says he does not know his own date of birth has become a successful entrepreneur and one of the richest in the country, with assets now estimated by Forbes at $2.6 billion. With them, Jacky Lorenzetti completes the podium of the richest owners of the Top 14. He is approaching a billion euros (€825 million), according to estimates by Challenges magazine at the head of the Ovalto investment fund, which operates in the world of real estate, wine, hotels and of course sport, with Racing 92 which belongs to it.
Not all clubs belong to one man
After them, the fortunes of the other bosses of the Top 14 are more uncertain. It would be a question of more or less a hundred million euros allocated to Bernard Lemaitre (RC Toulon) and Olivier Ginon (Lou rugby). Furthermore, like Castres Olympique with the Pierre Fabre laboratories or ASM Clermont via the Michelin group, the clubs are not all in the pay of individuals but sometimes of companies or groups of investors.
