He will have to be everyone’s prime minister, a job description Mikati
should not find too difficult. With a fortune estimated at $2.5 billion,

invested in African countries, created (with his brother ) the massive
communications company Investcom – during the height of the Lebanese
civil war, when he was just 27 – and later sold it to a South African
investor.
