Rubik lives in Budapest. Tibor Laczi, a business associate, said when he initially 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.'

Following Rubik's feat having returned from a business conference in the United States, Laczi declared, 'It was his first trip to the West, and he didn't ask me to take him anywhere after the press conference.
