Robert Miller made his fortune through cofounding the Hong Kong-based Duty Free Shoppers chain in 1960 and he retains a 38.75% stake in the group despite selling it to LVMH in 1998.
However, today most of his wealth is invested in his own hedge fund. Search Investments, his own family office, has managed his money since 1974 and controls SAIL Advisors, a company that manages funds of hedge fund portfolios.
His daughter Marie-Chantal Miller was born in London, England, and is the Crown Princess of Greece, Princess of Denmark after marrying Pavlos, the son of former King Constantine II of Greece, who was deposed in 1973.
