The award is presented to honour an individual’s lifetime of entrepreneurial achievement. It is a celebration of global business success bestowed upon a business leader, who embodies and exemplifies the ideals of free enterprise championed by Malcolm S. Forbes in his lifetime and within the pages of Forbes magazine since its founding in 1917.

Steve Forbes, Chairman and Editor-in-Chief, Forbes Media, said: “Over a business career spanning
