Julius Caesar Czarnikow (1838 – April 17, 1909) was a German-born, London-based sugar broker and investor.

Early life

Julius Caesar Czarnikow was born in 1838 in Sondershausen, Germany.[1][4] He was of Polish Jewish descent.[5] His father was Moritz Czarnikow and his mother, Johanne Bar.[4]

Czarnikow moved to England in 1854,[6] and he became a British subject in 1861.[7]

Career

Czarnikow founded a sugar brokerage firm, Czarnikow & Co., in 1862.[7] It had offices in Liverpool, Glasgow and New York City.[1] He partnered with Manuel Rionda of Cuba, who admitted to Czarnikow in 1909 that he struggled to find the right chemist for sugar manufacturing.[8]

Czarnikow was an investor in a sugar shopping company from the West Indies to Central Europe.[3] By 1872, he was also the largest investor in the South Carolina Phosphate Company.[9] Additionally, by 1888 he was an investor in the London Produce Clearing House,[3] and he served as its deputy chairman.[7]

Death

Czarnikow died on April 17, 1909 in London.[10] By the time of his death, "he was said to be the biggest sugar broker in the world",[10] with an estimated wealth of GBP£1 million.[3]
