His name is Walter Wolf.
He boasts four citizenships – Slovenian, Croatian, German and Canadian – and could rightfully claim title as an international man of mystery. He made a fortune in the oil services industry across Africa, the Arabian Gulf and the North Sea, where he employed scuba divers to maintain rigs. He sent upward of 200,000 gas masks from Poland to Slovenia just as Yugoslavia was disintegrating. And he bought a footwear company and a liquor company in Croatia, where a popular brand of cigarettes is named for him, marketed to those who "love speed and excitement" – like Mr. Wolf, who was the first Canuck to own an F1 racing team and helped bring the Grand Prix to Montreal.
