Amancio Ortega Gaona  

Spanish Fashion Executive and founding chairman of the Inditex fashion group, best known for its chain of Zara clothing and accessories retail shops

Amancio Ortega is the third-richest man in the world, beating even Warren Buffett, but many people have never heard of him. The 76-year-old Spaniard fiercely guards his privacy and gives few interviews to the press.

Ortega founded fast-fashion giant Zara with his then-wife Rosalia in 1975. Today, the retailer has 1,500 stores in 70 countries around the world and is changing retail forever. His net worth is estimated at $47.4 billion.
