BIOFUELS
Filippo Ghirelli, an Italian billionaire, acquired a 25% stake in Nayara Energy for $169 million, boosting his net worth to $1.5 billion with the stake now valued at $1.1 billion. With Nayara reporting a net income of $760 million for the fiscal year ending March 2025, Ghirelli is expanding his investment focus to infrastructure through his firm Infracorp, committing over $100 million to diverse projects, including biofuel and waste-to-energy facilities. He anticipates that these future investments could yield returns four to five times greater than his initial successes.
