- Petro Poroshenko served as the president of Ukraine from 2014 to 2019, but made his fortune as Ukraine's "chocolate king."
- Poroshenko got his start selling cocoa beans, then purchased several confectionery plants, uniting them under the company Roshen in 1995.
- Roshen sells an estimated $800 million worth of chocolates, caramel, wafers, cakes and other confections across 35 countries.
- His net worth fell by more than half after Russia invaded Ukraine as his confectionery firm Roshen was forced to shut two factories in Kyiv and nearby Boryspil.
