Amancio Ortega claimed the No. 2 position on the list of the world's richest men on Tuesday, Forbes reported. Amazon founder and CEO Jeff Bezos - who just last week beat out Bill Gates to briefly claim the title of the richest man in the world - dropped to the No. 3 position.
Bezos' drop is due to Amazon stock fluctuations, as the e-commerce company's stock has fallen nearly 5% since last Thursday. As of Tuesday afternoon, Forbes estimates Ortega's net worth to be $85.5 billion, compared to Bezos' estimated net worth of $84.6 billion.
Despite Ortega's enormous wealth, many people have never heard of him. Ortega is an incredibly private man, is rarely seen in public, and he rarely grants interviews throughout his incredibly successful career.
Ortega founded fast-fashion giant Zara with his then-wife Rosalia in 1975.
Today, his retail company Inditex SA - which owns Zara, Massimo Dutti, and Pull & Bear - has 7,385 outposts around the world.- Jazzomoney
