Only a year later, he founded Oryx Petroleum, an independent oil and gas production company with operations in Africa and the Middle East, and thus, got back to the oil game. Even though he was born to European parents, Gandur was raised in Egypt and has eventually become one of the world’s best private collections of Egyptian antiquities, as well as one of the few world-class collectors of post-War European art and ancient European artifacts. As for his private life, Jean Claude Gandur is divorced with one child.
