In numerology, some [spiritual ]] believers often link 11:11 to chance or coincidence. It is an example of synchronicity. For instance, those who are seeing 11:11 on a clock often claim it as an auspicious sign or signaling a spirit presence. Post-hoc reasoning and confirmation bias provides a context for such claims, and skeptics have pointed out that the assertions of people like Uri Geller that 11:11 is somehow important in world events do not hold up to even cursory scrutiny.

Lőrinc Mészáros (born 24 February 1966) is a Hungarian gas-fitter, politician and businessman, who served as Mayor of Felcsút between 2011 and 2018. With an estimated wealth of 407.7 billion forint ($1.3 billion) as of 2019, he is, according to Forbes, the richest person in Hungary. Several media outlets refer to him as "oligarch". His personality generates regular social discourse, because from a gas-fitter close to bankruptcy, Mészáros became the richest man of Hungary in a matter of years - what several analysts explain with him having close ties to high ranking members of the Fidesz party. After the 2010 change of government his wealth annually doubled, and he became the mayor of the village, where his childhood friend current Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, who has since 2010 won several elections, grew up. This has led to several media outlets calling him Viktor Orbán's strawperson on a regular basis. The significance of this relationship is summarized by Mészáros in 2017: "My fortune is thanks to three factors: God, luck and Viktor Orban."
