Amancio Ortega gives his daughter Marta a 'big foot' of 520 square meters in Barcelona
One of the most profitable whims of Amancio Ortega (83 years old) is his real estate investments through his company Pontegadea. Among one of its jewels, especially on a sentimental level, is an entire building on Paseo de Gracia 93 in Barcelona, an avenue that, due to its many luxury shops, could be compared to Fifth Avenue in New York or Avenue des Champs-Élysées in Paris.
The building has six residential floors of about 520 square meters each and, of course, Marta Ortega (35) has her home in one of those luxury apartments, who decorated it with the invaluable help of her mother, Flora Pérez (65). ). According to a person from the area, the apartment is a real 'bunker' that has been compared to a giant panic room. Despite her continuous trips as an Amazon, Marta has a special affection for this flat that, starting next year, she will enjoy together with the new member of the family, a girl who will be born next spring as a result of her relationship with Carlos Torretta. .
Amancio is very happy because since 2011 he has housed the Santa Eulalia luxury multi-brand store on the ground floor, one of the great benchmarks of bespoke tailoring for the Catalan bourgeoisie. In fact, Juan Antonio Samaranch opened the Barcelona Olympics with an elegant handmade suit. The owner and heir of Santa Eulalia was somewhat afraid of not being able to afford the rent for a space of more than 2,000 square meters, but what was his surprise when Ortega himself told him to calm down. Why?

The reason was very simple. Amancio's mother had a passion for sewing and had always admired the designs of this legendary Catalan house. In a few words, she began to reproduce some of those garments so that her children could look like brushes. For this reason, Amancio has a very special affection for Santa Eulalia since, in a certain sense, she evokes a humble childhood full of dreams. We must not forget that he, out of nowhere, has created the Inditex empire that made him the sixth largest fortune in the world according to Forbes at the beginning of 2019 with 57.2 billion dollars (51.6 billion euros).
