Alfred Léonard Loewenstein CB (11 March 1877 – 4 July 1928)[1] was a Belgian financier. At his peak in the 1920s, Loewenstein was worth around £12 million in the currency of the time (equivalent to £913.25 million in 2023), making him the third-richest person in the world at the time. His wealth came from investments in electric power and artificial silk businesses when those industries were in their infancy.[2] Loewenstein is remembered today for his mysterious disappearance and death in 1928.
