The Mahagitsiri family are barely billionaires, but their business interests span the region and several sectors (shipping, coffee, donuts, drinks). Surprisingly well-connected, patriarch Prayudh has dabbled in high-level politics as former Secretary-General of the Democrats, while his children run different parts of the empire autonomously.
