Forbes España highlights extreme wealth concentration in a few dynasties with an ageing elite facing imminent succession.

Overview

  • Forbes España’s 2025 ranking values the top 100 fortunes at €258.87 billion, lifting the entry threshold to roughly €450 million.
  • Amancio Ortega leads with €109.9 billion after a drop of about €10.3 billion linked to an Inditex stock correction, while Sandra Ortega is at €10 billion.
  • Rafael del Pino increases his wealth to €8.0 billion and Juan Roig to €7.9 billion (about +36%), with Juan Carlos Escotet rising to €6.2 billion as a major gainer.
  • Madrid and Catalonia host the most individuals (29 and 28), yet Galicia posts the highest average wealth driven by the Ortega fortunes.
  • Newcomers include the Rubiralta and Molins families, and Forbes notes that about 63.9% of total wealth is held by people older than 74.
