Zara founder Amancio Ortega earned €93.3 million last year in real estate profits
The vast fortune in the hands of Amancio Ortega, founder of Inditex – the parent company of clothing chain Zara – keeps growing.
But the profits are not just coming in from his retail fashion outlets, which also include brands such as Bershka, Massimo Dutti and Oysho.
Ortega’s real estate activities are becoming more profitable every year. Pontegadea Inmobiliaria, the company that he uses to invest in office and retail space, posted net profits of €93.3 million last year, a 32% increase from the previous year, according to the company’s filings with the Spanish Business Register.
The Galician tycoon’s property company specializes in scooping up buildings on the best streets of the world’s major cities. Most of these buildings already have occupants, and Ortega becomes their new landlord. The building housing the Apple Store in Barcelona and the Picasso Tower in Madrid are among the properties in his portfolio.
In 2013, Pontegadea collected €98.5 million in rent, €4.3 million more than in 2012. Of this amount, €75.7 million came from Spanish investments and €22.7 million from foreign tenants.

Spain: First Retirement Destination Among Britons
Scores of British expats who were drawn to Spain in the Nineties and early 2000s struggled to cope during the financial crisis and returned to Britain. Nearly 90,000 Britons packed their bags and abandoned the country last year alone.
Spain’s popularity as a retirement destination also suffered, with a poll last summer revealing the top destinations were the United States, Australia and Canada.
The results of a new study, however, suggest that Spain has regained its appeal among Britons planning to retire overseas.
Of more than 2,000 Britons polled by MGM Advantage, a retirement income specialist, 13pc said they planned to retire in Spain.
France took second place with 9pc of votes, followed by the United States and Australia.
After a six year property slump in Spain, during which prices are thought to have fallen between 40pc and 50pc nationally, recent data suggests the housing market is now recovering.

Total luxury: La Zagaleta, in Benahavís, Málaga
On the golden mile that extends along the coastline between Estepona and Marbella there is still room for a 24 carat urban diamond. A place in which the terms ‘luxury’ and ‘exclusive’ do not go far enough, because of the great fortunes that are needed to reside there. In the 900 hectares of La Zagaleta residential development, in the municipality of Benahavís, not just any fortune is acceptable.
The 230 property owners have the right to veto prospective neighbours who might put at risk the anonymity of this happy Arcadia, which sits in the foothills of the Serranía de Ronda and has views of Gibraltar.
Even the simplest home costs ten million euros here and the most expensive costs three times as much. When somebody presents their credentials as a purchaser, the other owners do not ask how many times he or she has featured on the front pages of newspapers - they ask for a guarantee that they are worth ten times the price of the house they are going to buy.
With a philosophy like that, this residential development has become a place of refuge for the truly powerful who hold the reins of a substantial part of the world economy and who appreciate the worth of real privacy. People such as Oswald J. Grübel, for instance, who has exchanged handling the fortunes of UBS and Credit Suisse, Switzerland’s biggest financial institutions, for a much quieter golden retirement as CEO at La Zagaleta.
