The wannabe DJ built Orascom Telecom which has gone on to become one of the biggest networks in emerging economies and has expanded into Iraq, Bangladesh and North Korea.
He became a prominent player in Europe after buying Italy’s Wind Telecommunicazioni in 2005.
He merged his telecom interests with Russia’s VimpelCom six years later and soon after sold his position for almost $4.1 billion, ploughing much of those proceeds into gold. His holding group La Mancha is the biggest investor in gold miners Endeavour Mining Plc and Evolution Mining Ltd.
The DJ job is a public job and requires the ability to think on the go, including the ability to read and respond to trends in the music industry and respond to dancers’ throngs.
Known for his blunt views, Naguib last week berated Emmanuel Macron, the French President for negotiating with Russia’s President, Vladimir Putin, calling the Russian strongman, Hitler in the making.

He was threatened by Islamic fundamentalists after he posted the picture of Mickey and Minnie Mouse in Islamic dress on Twitter which prompted a boycott of his companies.
He is also famous for his relishing nightlife. He’s known to roll into the office clothed in the previous night’s club attire and bragging about his salsa-dancing talents to his 7.8 million Twitter followers.
