Ráhel Orbán runs the distances after the holiday around their newly acquired Széchenyi castle

The paid article of 444.hu in the days after the holidays, a seemingly innocent Instagram story started the investigation, which eventually led to another, so far little-known luxury property of Tiborcz-Orbán interest. Ráhel Orbán shared a video of a runner taken in a rural, park environment, the location of which was identified with the 444 journalist’s geolocation. The background was not Hatvanpuszta, Balatonhenye or the well-known Tura castle, but the Somogy county The courtyard of Széchenyi Castle is located in Görgeteg.

The history of the castle fits well into the pattern of asset movements linked to the NER. The building was previously owned by the state forestry company SEFAG, then it was acquired by a foreign investor, the Drawa company belonging to Italian billionaire Carlo Benetton, after he built an exchange property for the state company. The castle was renovated, and in 2024 the Drawa a István Tiborczbecame the property of Főnix, a private equity fund linked to Thus, the castle, the lands belonging to it and the surrounding usufructuary rights became part of the Tiborcz circle of interests, supplemented by the land purchases worth hundreds of millions of forints that Ráhel Orbán made in the area under his own name.

The article also links to another Christmas post: Viktor Orbán published an intimate family photo, the background of which the journalists as the Dreher villa in Buda was identified. This property since 2024 István Tiborcz and Ráhel Orbán’s home in Budapest. The acquisition of the villa is also the result of a complex process interspersed with state property sales and investors close to the NER: several valuable properties on Svábhegy were sold in a package, and the Mártonhegyi út plot was later divided into two, with an office building on one side and a private residence on the other. The Christmas photo confirmed that for good the family moved here.

The broader context of the story is that all of this is being made public at a time when the entanglement of power and wealth is receiving unprecedented attention. Direkt36’s documentary entitled “Dynasty” achieved millions of views in a short time, presenting in detail the enrichment of Viktor Orbán’s family, especially István Tiborcz. The film and the successive real estate and luxury travel cases – private jet trips, business relations with Middle Eastern investors – together strengthen the image that the resources concentrated in the immediate environment of political power far exceed the level that can be explained by official incomes.

The running photo is therefore not just a lifestyle moment: it is another puzzle piece in the story in which a more complete map of the family wealth of the Hungarian political elite is gradually emerging for the public.
