New Wealthiest Man In The World, A Conservative Blue-collar Spaniard by fernandoc(m): 5:02pm On Sep 10, 2016
Amancio Ortega:

The man who just overcame the gay Facebook nerd for "wealthiest man in the world", is a hardworking Conservative Spaniard, former blue-collar worker (he started his business with 100 usd, patience and a vision), who has lunch each day at his factory's common-worker refectory, spends his evenings with his barrio friends down the road at his all-life-favorite middle-class bar, never took a selfie, almost never gave any interview to MSM , never appeared in any Hollywood party... Much respect to him! He's the wealthiest man in the world, started with nothing, and doesn't care about MSM or all the "liberal" stuff...

The son of a railway worker from La Coruña, Spain, Ortega is as reclusive as he is rich. He started his career as a store clerk in his hometown before opening his own business. Beginning with less than $100, he and his wife Rosalia Mera began making lingerie, pajamas and nightgowns in their living room.

In 1975, the couple (who eventually divorced) decided to open a store named Zara. Eight years later, Ortega had expanded to nine locations around Spain. In 1984, he opened a 10,000 square meter logistics hub"

"Ortega keeps a very low profile and, until 1999, no photograph of Ortega had ever been published and is known for his preference for a simple lifestyle. He refuses to wear a tie and typically wears a simple uniform of a blue blazer, white shirt, and gray pants, ... He is also said to take a very active part in the production and design process in the company.

When he made a public appearance in 2000 as part of the warm-up prior to his company's initial public offering on the stock market in 2001, it made headlines in the Spanish financial press. However, he has only ever granted interviews to three journalists"
