Selfridges Group, along with KaDeWe Group, is owned by the Central Group from Thailand, which acquired it in 2021 jointly with Austria-based Signa Holding, which lost joint control in late 2023. Shareholders successfully ousted Signa Holding's founder, René Benko, who was pressured to relinquish his voting rights amid the financial turmoil.[2]
