Bill Holst, the 69-year-old blue-jeaned, third-generation corn farmer who started this scrap-metal business 12 years ago. [...] the largest caviar company in the world: It controls 30% of the global market
[...]
Holst himself had a wild ride that brought him to the caviar industry. He dropped out of college in 1968 to work the midnight shift in an insulation factory for $2 an hour. At 22, he started a remodeling business. That led him to buy a quarry in the late 1970s to dig for sand and gravel. By 1995, he owned 11. One site had a spring-fed lake that he stocked with fish so his two children could go fishing. A friend in St. Paul, whose hobby was raising sturgeon in his garage, introduced Holst to a Native tribe in Canada that sold him the fish. Holst discovered he had a knack for keeping the fish healthy. In 1999, the friend learned about an opportunity to buy a bankrupt sturgeon farm in Hungary.
