Alfred Loewenstein
Alfred Loewenstein (11 March 1877 - 4 July 1928), CB, was a Belgian financier. At his peak in the 1920s he was worth around £12 million in the currency of the time.
The basis of his wealth was that he invested in electric power and artificial silk businesses when those industries were in their infancy.〔LOWENSTEIN'S TRAGIC END SHAKES EUROPE'S MARKETS; SUICIDE THEORY IS RAISED: CAPTAIN ALFRED LOWENSTEIN.
