Billionaire Roman Karkosik builds a 55-metre concrete-and-steel Virgin Mary monument

Roman Karkosik, one of Poland's most secretive billionaires, is funding the construction of a 55.6-metre concrete-and-steel Virgin Mary monument designed to last at least three centuries. Known for shunning publicity and operating by the principle that "publicity does not serve business interests," this is his most public gesture to date. Karkosik typically dresses in black and avoids the media spotlight.
