We read in the ARA that Sarah Ferguson, the ex-wife of Prince Charles's brother, has "taken refuge" in a luxury clinic "with treatments valued at €15,000 a day, staying in a penthouse overlooking a lake and enjoying a chauffeur and private chef." Let's just say that this "getaway" coincides with the publication of a 2011 email in which it's clear she wasn't distancing herself from Jeffrey Epstein, even after it was already known that he was a pedophile. It's worth mentioning that, a little further down in the newspaper, there's another story about this man's friends. Stephen Hawking, the astrophysicist, apparently also went to the infamous island of horrors and had (I can't quite imagine how) contact with minors.

BBVA's takeover bid for Banc Sabadell was a process that lasted almost a year and a half and was ultimately rejected by shareholders. During this period, both entities dedicated significant resources, one to achieving its objectives and the other to defending itself. However, Sabadell managed to increase its corporate banking business, one of its pillars. It has reached a 16.25% share of total corporate lending (CIRBE), compared to 13.28% last year, and the number of clients in this segment has grown from 65,000 to 85,600 in a year, according to Eduardo Currás de Don Pablos, Deputy General Manager and Head of Corporate Banking at the bank. The entity is achieving the objectives it set just before the takeover bid, which was finalized on May 9, 2024. One of these objectives is to reach a CIRBE share of 20%. In any case, the bank has lowered the customer threshold from €10 million in revenue to €2 million and has added the start-ups

If everything that happens in Switzerland already seems like a given to us by default preppyImagine how this feeling intensifies when you add the Rothschild name to the equation. Well, this is the league we're playing in today. The level of exclusivity of the topic we're discussing this Sunday is so high that even names like Empress Sissi and Napoleon appear. In fact, to fully understand the context of these events, imagine that in the most VIP country in the world, there's a VIP room, which inside has another VIP room, which in turn has an even smaller, and therefore even more VIP, room. It's there that everything that follows takes place. Perhaps that's why, despite their importance, we know practically nothing about the characters in this tragicomedy.

Spain has gained eight new billionaires in the last year, bringing the total number of people with this level of wealth in the country to 32. Those who have joined this exclusive club, along with a fashion entrepreneur—specifically Amancio Ortega, the main shareholder of Inditex—driven the increase in billionaire wealth in Spain to $213.1 billion (€182.5 billion at the current exchange rate), representing 5% of the 2025 billionaire ambitions of the Swiss bank UBS. In Catalonia, the wealthiest individual is Sol Daurella, from the family that controls Coca-Cola Europacific Partners (CCEP), who succeeded Mango founder Isak Andic, who died tragically.

Among the 20 richest people in Catalonia on the list from Forbes magazine There are only six women, but Sol Daurella Comadrán, president of the giant Coca-Cola Europacific Partners (CCEP), who succeeded Isak Andic (Mango) – who died at the end of last year – is the first. The podium is completed by Manuel Puig Rocha (Puig Brands) and Manuel Lao (Nortia Capital).

Sol Daurella tops the Forbes 2025 list of Catalonia's richest people, with an estimated fortune of €2.9 billion. Nationally, the businesswoman ranks 12th. She belongs to the founding family of Cobega, a Coca-Cola bottler, which currently controls the multinational Coca-Cola Europacific Partners (CCEPP), where she serves as president. Daurella has risen to the top of a list of Catalan residents that last year was headed by Isak Andic, who died in December after falling from a cliff in the Montserrat area, with a net worth exceeding €4 billion. The inheritance has been divided equally among the three children: Jonathan, Judith, and Sarah.

Spain has 246,000 super-net-worth individuals, defined as those with at least $30 million in convertible assets. This represents 0.51% of the country's population. Three-quarters of these individuals owe their fortune to the efforts, vision, or luck of an ancestor, who accumulated their wealth.

Becoming a millionaire is no easy task. It requires dedication and effort, and sometimes even crossing the line. That's what some of the world's millionaires have done. But not all of them are self-made; that is, not all of them are what we call self-made men either self-made women, although there are differences between countries.

Things are going well for the richest. Much more so than for the rest, although global poverty is declining worldwide due to economic growth, although the COVID crisis halted this trend. And, at the same time, inequality is growing, not so much between countries but within them, with an ever-widening gap in societies between those who have the most and those who have the least. The richest 1% have stabilized their share of global wealth at around 40%, below the levels of the neoliberal policies inaugurated by Ronald Reagan in the US and Margaret Thatcher in the UK during the period from 1980 to the mid-2000s, a period in which they became the owners.

The population's contribution to global warming is unequal and depends largely on its income.

Spain lost millionaires last year, dropping from 250,600 to 246,600, but the wealth of those who are part of this select club continued to grow. These are some of the report's conclusions. Global Wealth 2025, published by the consulting firm Capgemini.

She put on pearl earrings, fake pearls. And she set foot in the most exclusive neighborhood in Paris for the first time. It was September 2012, and sociologist Alizée Delpierre, who had been researching the relationship between the wealthy and their servants for some time, decided it was essential to see and experience it firsthand. That's why she worked as a nanny in the homes of the super-rich. The result of the investigation is Serving the rich (Editorial Península).
