Biography
Andrej Babiš (born 2 September 1954) is a Czech politician and businessman who has been the prime minister of the Czech Republic since December 2025, having previously served as prime minister from 2017 to 2021. Prior to that, he was the minister of finance and deputy prime minister from 2014 to 2017. A populist, Babiš has led the ANO 2011 political party since he founded it in 2012.
Born in Bratislava, Babiš moved to the Czech Republic in the early 1990s. During a lengthy business career, he became one of the wealthiest individuals in the Czech Republic, with an estimated net worth of about $4.04 billion according to Bloomberg in November 2020. In September 2026, Forbes estimated his net worth to be $4.2 billion. Babiš made most of his fortune as the founder and owner of Agrofert, one of the country's largest holding companies.
On 6 December 2017, Babiš was appointed prime minister of the Czech Republic, after ANO won the largest share of the vote in the 2017 Czech parliamentary election. When he took office, he was the oldest and wealthiest person ever to become Czech prime minister, as well as the first from a party other than the Civic Democratic Party or the Social Democratic Party. Additionally, Babiš was also the first prime minister born outside the Czech Republic, the first to hold dual citizenship, and the first whose native language is not Czech.
