Sevket Sabanci was born with a silver spoon – he is, after all, the fourth son of Haci Ömer Sabanci and, thus, a member of the influential Sabanci family of Turkey. He is a billionaire businessman and philanthropist whose business savvy, ethics and success are just as well-known as his family lineage.
He has a degree in textile engineering from the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology (UMIST) in England. After graduation, he returned home and worked at various managerial positions in his family’s companies before becoming Sabanci Holding’s international representative.
He is currently Esa Holding’s chairman; Esa Holding is Air Berlin’s second-largest shareholder as well as owner of Pegasus Airlines, Turkey’s largest private airlines. He is also one of the founding members of the Sabanci Foundation VakSA, one of Turkey’s major philanthropic organizations. His net worth is an estimated $7 billion as of 2015.
He is currently married to Hayirli Zerrin and has three children.
