There is little evidence of the economic crisis among Poland's richest citizens, according to a list of the world's wealthiest published by Forbes magazine.

The list is led by well-known faces, with Jan Kulczyk the richest man in Poland. He was not ranked last year due to difficulties in accurately assessing his wealth.

Mr Kulczyk, the owner of Kulczyk Holding and Kulczyk Investments, has a fortune worth zł.6.4 billion, according to the magazine.

In second place on the list is media mogul Zygmunt Solorz-Żak, owner of Polsat, whose net worth is cited as zł.6.2 billion.
