Amancio Ortega, a trailblazer in fast fashion, and known for his company, Intidex and its clothing chain, Zara, recently made a large purchase that may have set him back a few places on the global billionaire ranking. Mr. Ortega is now the 23rd-richest person in the world with a $59.6 billion fortune, according to the Forbes Billionaires Index. His wealth has taken a $19 billion hit this year after Inditex’s share price tumbled 18% and some high-end investments.

The Spanish billionaire is one of the wealthiest clothing retailers in the world. He owns about 60% of Madrid-listed Inditex, which has 8 brands, including Massimo Dutti and Pull & Bear, and has about 7,500 stores around the world. Mr. Ortega typically earns more than $400 million in dividends a year from his holdings in Intidex.

Besides his interest in fast fashion, Mr. Ortega has an interest in real estate. He has invested his dividends primarily into real estate in Madrid, Barcelona, London, Chicago, Miami and New York. He has a personal investment company called Pontegadea which is the real estate arm of retailer Zara’s parent Inditex.
