According to the list, İbrahim Erdemoğlu, the Chairman of Erdemoğlu Holding, who earned the title of Turkey's richest businessman last year with a fortune of 5.3 billion dollars, experienced a significant decline this year. ERDEMOĞLU'S FORTUNE SHRANK BY 3 BILLION DOLLARSAs a result of the depreciation of the shares of his companies on Borsa Istanbul, Erdemoğlu experienced a loss exceeding 3 billion dollars in his total assets. In the list of Turkey's top 10 richest businesspeople published for 2024, Erdemoğlu ranked 10th. The decline in Erdemoğlu's fortune is attributed to the drop in SASA polyester shares, which reached 10 lira at the beginning of 2023 and have now fallen to 4 lira.
