Alejandro Santo Domingo Davilla
Alejandro Santo Domingo Davilla inherited his £6.6bn fortune from his father Julio Mario Santo Domingo Pumarejo, after his death in 2011.
Pumerejo made his money through his Bavaria brewery but traded it in 2005 for 15% of SABMiller, the world’s second-largest brewer. The stake is now worth nearly £5.9bn.
The inheritance is shared between Alejandro – the face of the family and md of New York investment firm Quadrant Capital Advisors – and his brother Andres along with their brother-in-law’s widow Vera Santo Domingo and her two children.
In 2011, the firm opened a £3M research brewery in Nottingham to look at ways to reduce the amount of water in brewing and shelf-life extension.
