Adriano Mazotti’s net worth is estimated to be R990 million. He has recently been regarded as South Africa’s largest tobacco dealer.
According to Savanna News Mazzotti, his net worth is estimated to be R990 million. Despite being one of South Africa’s most powerful business tycoons, Mazzotti has managed to keep his personal life private. Adriano is the head of the Mazzotti family business and makes all the decisions.
He is a co-founder of Carnilinx, a tobacco and manufacturing company. Carnilinx is South Africa’s largest tobacco supplier. He does, however, own Close Corporation Realtime Time Investments 535 in addition to Carnilinx. Little is known about whether he only makes money from cigarettes or from other business ventures.
WHO IS ADRIANO MAZZOTTI?
Due to his Italian heritage, he has been dupped as an Italian Mafia boss. No doubt he has kept his private under wraps for years. Recently, Mzansi has managed to sneak into his personal life thanks to his political association with EFF leader Julius Malema. He is married to Analisa Mazzotti, and the two have three children together.
Mazotti woes with SARS
In 2019 SARS revealed that Mazzotti owed the taxman R71.1 million in VAT. However, it was about his 2010 doggy dealings, including cigarette smuggling.
The SARS Information System revealed that Mazzotti imported cigarettes from Botswana through his company. Some of the charges were exporting goods with falsified documents. However, despite this, Mazzotti is yet to be nabbed for illicit cigarette dealings and smuggling as alleged.
Properties
With a whopping net worth of R990 million, Adriano has blessed himself with some of the best properties Mzansi can offer. Of interest is the fact that EFF President Julius Malema lives in one of his properties in Hyde Park, Johannesburg.
MAZZOTTI’S POLITICAL INVOLVEMENT
He is a darling of EFF, and Adriano splashed R200 000 towards its registration in 2013. In recent years Malema has often defended his friend from the public. At some point, the EFF President was candid about Mazzotti’s clean money after being implicated in shady deals. In 2022 Malema was one of the few guests at Mazzotti’s daughter’s wedding slatted for Ibiza.
