What do we know about Royal Mail's new owner?

Quick Summary:

Czech billionaire Daniel Křetínský has been described as a "quiet sphinx" for his inscrutable style.

He also spent about €21.5m (£18.3m) buying a Parisian townhouse down the road from the Elysée Palace from Russian oligarch and fertiliser magnate Dmitry Rybolovlev and his ex-wife.

These include Sparta Prague in his home country, as well as Premier League club West Ham United, in which he holds a 27% stake.
