What Is Alberto Cortina's Net Worth?
Alberto Cortina is a prominent Spanish businessman with a net worth of $1.5 billion. His substantial fortune primarily stems from his 50% stake in the investment firm Alcor Holdings. The other half is owned by his cousin, Alberto Alcocer.
Business Partnerships and Family Ties
Cortina and Alcocer were once married to sisters Alicia and Esther Koplowitz, the daughters of the founder of Construcciones y Contratas (now FCC), a major Spanish construction company. This connection afforded them the opportunity to manage their wives' company from the early 1970s until their respective marriages ended in 1989.
Expanding Horizons: Banking Ventures
Post-divorce, Cortina and Alcocer ventured into the banking sector, managing Banco Zaragozano. Their skilled management led them to sell their cumulative 40% stake in the bank to Barclays in 2004, further augmenting their wealth.
