Inside the luxury apartment project of Lőrinc Mészáros, Viktor Orbán’s wealthy friend

Lőrinc Mészáros, Hungary's richest man, and his wife, Andrea Várkonyi, are constructing a luxury apartment complex in Felcsút, featuring amenities like a hot tub and swimming pools, at a cost of 2.95 billion forints. The project is financed by Talentis Group Zrt., a company owned by Mészáros, which has rapidly expanded through state contracts. The construction is set to be completed by the end of 2026, with the aim of boosting local tourism. The project has faced scrutiny regarding its funding and connections to the Hungarian state.
