Rubik lived in Budapest. Tibor Laczi, a business associate, said when he first met him, 'When Rubik walked into the room I felt like giving him some money. He looked like a beggar! He was terribly dressed, and he had a cheap Hungarian cigarette hanging out of his mouth. But I knew I had a genius on my hands.'

In the wake of Rubik's achievement having returned from a business conference in the United States, Laczi commented, 'It was his first trip to the West, and he didn't ask me to take him anywhere after the press conference.
Most Hungarians that come here want to look at shops or buy jewellery or visit a bar. Rubik went back to his hotel. He was always that way, even after the money started. The only thing Rubik did was start enjoying better cigarettes!'
