Chief executive and majority owner of the Czechoslovak Group (CSG), a Czech arms-maker, and the country's richest man. He has worked at CSG, which was founded by his father, since leaving high school. Until the company's IPO in January 2026 he kept a low profile.
Mr Strnad has said he wants CSG to become Europe's biggest arms-maker. He is the main sponsor of the Czech Olympic team and has bought Viktoria Plzen, a football club that rivals AC Sparta Prague, which is owned by fellow Czech billionaire Daniel Kretinsky.
Every man thinks God is on his side. The rich and powerful know that he is.
