Lőrinc Mészáros‘s family-owned company, Talentis Zrt., holds approximately 17 billion forints in bank deposits and private capital funds, according to recent financial disclosures. The substantial holdings, revealed alongside a total asset base nearing 150 billion forints, underscore the continued financial strength of the Mészáros Group, one of Hungary’s most prominent business conglomerates. The revelation comes as scrutiny intensifies regarding the group’s rapid expansion and investment strategies.
Talentis Zrt.’s financial position is notably notable for its reliance on internally generated funds-primarily accumulated profits-rather than external debt. The company reports no long-term loans and minimal short-term liabilities, consisting largely of dividend advances from subsidiaries. This financial independence provides significant flexibility for future investments and acquisitions, potentially influencing sectors ranging from real estate to media.
Beyond the 17 billion forint deposit and fund portfolio, Talentis Zrt. possesses 4 billion forints in real estate and an additional 1.5 billion forints in other assets. The nearly 150 billion forint asset base is almost entirely financed through the company’s own resources.Inquiries directed to the Mészáros group regarding the nature of talentis Zrt.’s investment holdings, specifically concerning private equity fund features previously managed by the group’s legal counsel and the recording of tens of billions in bonds, have not yet received a response.
