La patrimonial de Amancio Ortega gana casi un 8% más y suma 117.083 millones en activos

Amancio Ortega's business empire, Pontegadea, saw its assets increase by nearly 8% to a total of 117.083 million in 2025. This figure accounts for both his business stakes and real estate holdings. The holding firm generated 10.055 million euros in profits last year, a 7.86% rise from 2024, surpassing the 117 million euro mark in assets.

The founder and majority shareholder of Inditex, Ortega, also owns the largest real estate fortune in the world. According to records filed with the Mercantile Registry, Pontegadea Inversiones, Partler 2006, and Pontegadea GB 2020, the three entities within the holding, reported combined revenues of 44.638 million euros last year, a 3.5% increase from 2024's 43.125 million.

The three companies collectively own assets worth 117.083 million euros, up from 110.615 million in 2024 (+6%), with liabilities of 21.432 million euros (20.069 million a year prior). These figures encompass Ortega's 59.29% stake in Inditex, investments in other companies, and real estate valued at about 22 billion euros, excluding recent acquisitions.

Since 2019, the Ortega holding has grown its assets by roughly 40 billion euros, expanding from 75.317 million pre-pandemic to the current 117.083 million. Pontegadea Inversiones owns 50.01% of Inditex, while Partler 2006 holds the remaining 9.28% owned by Ortega in the textile giant. In 2025, Ortega received 3.104 million in dividends from Inditex.

He also owns 30% of Telxius, 5% each of Redeia and Enagas, and a 12% stake in Portugal's electricity and natural gas utility, Redes Energéticas Nacionais (REN). Pontegadea and its partners, Macquarie Asset Management and UniSuper, closed the acquisition of logistics operator Qube Holdings for 11.7 billion Australian dollars (~7 billion euros), including debt.

This, along with other acquisitions throughout the year, isn't reflected in their 2025 accounts. The founder and Inditex majority shareholder has been closing on or pursuing deals worth over 2 billion euros in office buildings, logistics warehouses, and luxury apartments. In July, Ortega finalized the purchase of Invesco Capital 8, a major Paris office complex for over 800 million euros.

The latest transaction, from July, was the acquisition of Invesco Capital 8, a large Paris office complex for over 800 million euros. In their audited accounts by EY, the company reported a 1.656 million euro contribution to Pontegadea Luxembourg, of which 1.529 million came from a credit line, and 50 million euros to Pontegadea Inmobiliaria.

Additionally, Ortega invested 313 million euros in Pontegadea Inmobiliaria in 2025 due to a partial asset liquidation. Conversely, the company received 34 million euros from renewable energy firms as distribution payments related to ownership stakes in various sectors. Pontegadea Inversiones reported 19.706 million euros in investments in long-term group and affiliated companies in 2025, compared to 18.147 million in 2024.

The firm also holds 733 million euros in other equity instruments (655 million in 2024), including minority stakes in various publicly traded companies. Ortega's wealth portfolio continues to bolster investments in the United Kingdom. As of 2025, Pontegadea UK held over 3 billion euros in properties, a figure that has steadily grown over the years with new acquisitions.

In February, the firm established a new subsidiary in the UK to acquire another property investment financed by an intragroup loan. Regarding commitments to the Amancio Ortega Gaona Foundation, Pontegadea made a 66 million euro disbursement in 2025, applying the earmarked provision for this purpose. This 66 million euro amount, considered a non-deductible tax donation for corporate tax purposes.
