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.
