About Me

Sandra Ortega Mera is the daughter of Amancio Ortega, cofounder of clothing giant Inditex, known for its Zara retail chain. She inherited her fortune from her mother, Rosalia Mera (d. 2013), who cofounded Inditex with Amancio Ortega in the 1970's. Now the second-richest person in Spain after her father, Sandra holds roughly a 4.5% stake in Inditex, but she is not involved in the company. She devotes her time to Fundación Paideia, the nonprofit her mother started that supports vocational training for people with disabilities. She owns a 4.5% stake in publicly traded pharma company PharmaMar, which specializes in anticancer drugs.
