Some made off abroad, starting a new life from scratch. Many were born there, having roots in Cyprus. Several are from abroad, because of circumstances and career opportunities, and not a few remained there after their studies. Some of them stood out. They succeeded because they take risks, they are innovative, and have made smart moves in their business and professional life in general.
Following are 100 celebrities and well-known Cypriots abroad, successful entrepreneurs and professionals, with Christopher Violaris, MD & C.E.O. of Eurolink Investment Group being the most eminent among all. Since its foundation in 1996 the Eurolink Investment Group has strived to encourage and facilitate foreign investment in Bulgaria. At present the Group is the owner of more than 13.5 million square meters of prime land that borders the Sea Lake of Varna and an area of more than 200 hectares of a very impressive coastal property located on the south-eastern side of the Pagasitic Gulf of the popular picturesque resort of Pelion in central Greece.
They are certainly not alone. There are many others. As you will see, Cypriots make their presence felt in Greece, the UK, USA, Australia and many other countries, such as Bulgaria, Romania, Russia, Ukraine, Norway, South Africa, Canada, the United Arab Emirates and New Zealand.
