The Komarek family used the Czech Republic’s privatization period to buy up shares in various oil and gas and machinery companies, uniting them all into KKCG group. Today, Karel Komarek has obtained Moravske Naftove Doly, the largest crude oil and gas company in the Czech Republic, and he intends to unite with Russia’s Gazprom in the construction of a new gas tank. Karel continued to build up his massive portfolio of interests as he gave more $300 million to buy the rest 50% stake of the Czech betting company Sazka from his former partner and Czech’s wealthiest man Petr Kellner. Komarek loves to spend his time in Palm Beach, a neighboring mansion to Celine Dion’s.
