Adnan Kivan was born on November 30, 1962 and became a multimillionaire of Arab-Syrian origin. In 1986, he organized a company that brokered negotiations between the USSR and its Arab debtors, earning a significant sum by 1990.
In 2005, he founded the company "Diana-Plus", and later - "Interinvestbud" and Kadorr Group, which became one of the largest players in the real estate market in Ukraine. According to Forbes, in 2021 his fortune was $240 million.
Kivan was also the owner of the agricultural company "Kador zerno Ukrainy", the "Zerno Agro" company, the Kyiv Post publication and the Odesa 7 channel. His contribution to culture includes the construction of the Arab Cultural Center of Odessa and the Eastern Cultural Center.
