About Me
George Economou is a Greek shipping tycoon who owns several privately-held firms under his TMS Group. He took one of those firms, Dryships, public on the Nasdaq in 2005 before ultimately taking it private again in 2019 at a $456 million valuation. In 2018, he sold offshore drilling firm Ocean Rig to publicly traded TransOcean at a $2.7 billion valuation, just 18 months after the firm filed for bankruptcy. Between August and December 2023, Economou bought large positions in several publicly-traded shipping firms in the U.S. Outside of shipping, he owns an estimated $250 million art collection including works by Pablo Picasso. Part of it is on display in his private museum in Athens.
