He has an estimated net worth of $80 million but despite this, he remains grounded. There were some tax scandals, but he has dismissed what has mostly been tabloid gossip. His appearance in Forbes as the richest man in Hungary in 2012 still only mentions the professional side of György. His celebrity status has no encouraged him to lead a life in the public eye.
