Currently, Dieter Schwarz serves as the CEO and Chairman of Lidl and Kaufland. During the 1990s, Dieter Schwarz has been regularly present in Forbes lists of wealthiest people in the world. However, in 1999, his name was dropped off from the list due to the transfer of his Lidl ownership to a charitable organization. He returned to the list only in 2013.
