Philip Niarchos is a Greek businessman, the billionaire heir to the Niarchos family fortune, which stems from the massive shipping and industrial conglomerate founded by his late father, Stavros Niarchos (d. 1996), a legendary Greek shipping magnate. His career is rooted in art patronage, finance, and generational stewardship.

Niarchos's philosophical approach centers on long-term asset preservation and cultural patronage. His structural wealth is tied to the liquid assets and vast art collection inherited from his father, which is considered one of the most valuable private art collections in the world.
