The notoriously private 76-year-old co-founded Zara with his then-wife Rosalia in 1975. The retailer , which has 1,500 stores in 70 countries, is dominating Europe and expanding in Asia.
Ortega rarely gives interviews to the press. His net worth is estimated at $57.5 billion.
Despite Ortega's private nature, some details about his life have emerged. He wears the same thing to work everyday and dines in the company cafeteria.
