The story of Kostas Makris is 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.
The Greek-Australian can be considered the King of Gold Coast in Australia, after having bought the most expensive properties in the famous tourist destination.
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.
