INTERVIEW. Billionaire Nicolas Saverys (65) who is not afraid of controversy: “Global warming? We have fossil fuels to run the air conditioning, don’t we?”

Nicolas Saverys (65) is a lot. Entrepreneur, shipowner, lord of the castle, billionaire and also an ardent believer in fossil fuels. And what about global warming? It’s not too bad: “Rather a little warmer than a little colder.” At the same time, the Exmar CEO is an avid hunter and father of seven. Or is it eight? Today he is putting 370 million euros on the table to buy back his own shipping company. “An energy crisis? In the papers maybe, but I haven’t seen it.”
