The story of\u00a0Kostas Makris<\/a>\u00a0is the story of every Greek with entrepreneurial spirit who moved to another country and managed to prosper by taking advantage of the opportunities offered in the absence of crippling bureaucracy.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Greek-Australian<\/a>\u00a0can be considered the King of Gold Coast in Australia, after having bought the most expensive properties in the famous tourist destination.<\/p>\n

Makris is the 46th the wealthiest resident of Australia and the richest Greek in the country. He is also among the 20 richest Greeks in the world.<\/p>\n

The Greek real estate magnate was born in Lygourio of Epidavros and later his family moved to Athens. He migrated to Australia at the age of 16 and it wasn\u2019t long before his business acumen led him to the top.<\/p>\n
