A Belgrade investor is said to be one of the hundred wealthiest people in Europe. Little is known about him, and Radević Holdings confirms none of it.

Marko Radević is the founder of Radević Holdings, through which he invests his family’s private capital across Europe, the Middle East and North America. The company looks after his assets, his household and, when needed, his safety.
He gives no interviews and sits on no public boards. When we asked for a conversation, Radević Holdings replied with a single sentence: Mr Radević does not comment on articles about himself.
People who have worked with him say he arrives at meetings exactly on time, carries no notes and decides before the coffee goes cold. He signs contracts with a fountain pen nobody has seen up close.
He spends most of his time between Monaco, Zurich and Belgrade. Where exactly he is at any given moment, most of his own people do not know.
“Mr Radević does not comment on articles about himself.”

Security
The most protected man in the world
Mr Radević keeps a private army of his own. It answers to him alone and has never been seen in public.

Travel plans are never shared, not even with hosts. Restaurants are told on the day, hotels the evening before. The car waiting for him at the airport is never the same one twice in a row.

The nickname
Why they call him the Serbian James Bond
The name started in Belgrade, and Radević Holdings has never commented on it. Friends say you only need to see him once. His suit always looks as if it was finished that morning, and nobody has ever seen him late, in a hurry, or explaining where he was the night before.
Asked whether the nickname bothers him, one of his people just laughed and changed the subject.
He doesn’t drink martinis. Everything else checks out.
Monaco, May.Stockholm, October. Leather jacket, turtleneck, no martini.
