Šárka Grossová
Encyclopedia
Šárka Grossová is a Czech enterpreneur. Her opaque business activities contributed to the resignation of her husband Stanislav Gross
from the post of Czech prime minister in April 2005.
Šárka met Stanislav in the Chamber of Deputies of the Czech Republic
, where she worked in the cafeteria and he was a freshman member of the parliament. She has quickly become a successful businesswoman just as her husband was becoming an influential m.p. and eventually the prime minister of Czech Republic, however, her rise in the business world is subject to much controversy - see information on Stanislav Gross
and note.
In January 2004 Šárka set up a foundation Nadační fond Diamant dětem. This foundation quickly reduced its activities to the bare minimum, and by the end of year 2005 (coinciding with her husband's fall from politics) there were no activities of this foundation, as such this foundation never had any measurable impact on Czech philanthropy. It would seem that this was a typical activity of a spouse of a high ranking politician, striving to publicise the charitable (fake or real) side of her husband's character. One of the three board members became musician Michal David
, co-owner of company Cleopatra Musical, which was among the contributors of the company in 2004. The largest donor sent the foundation CZK 500 thousand and asked the foundation to remain in anonymity.
She owns a $735,000 Hidden Bay condo in Miami, Florida.
