📊 He fled communist Albania with nothing — today he’s the country’s first-ever billionaire, worth $1.5B. Samir Mane escaped to Vienna at 23, spent six months in a refugee camp, then began importing electronics by hand, driving trucks across borders and selling out instantly. He went on to found Albania’s first electronics chain, build the country’s first shopping malls, acquire a major bank, and expand into real estate and tourism. Today, his BALFIN Group operates 60 companies across 11 countries, generates €1B+ in annual revenue, employs 5,000 people, and serves 80,000 customers a day. #founder #business #entrepreneur #billionaires
