超越比尔盖茨，ZARA创始人奥特加成世界首富 - 世界首富,比尔盖茨,ZARA - IT资讯
在周三，西班牙零售奇才、ZARA创始人阿曼西奥·奥特加（Amancio Ortega）已经超过了比尔盖茨成为世界上最富有的人。阿曼西奥·奥特加的Inditex集团，也就是ZARA、Massimo Dutti和Pull&Bear的母公司，股票在周三上涨了2.5%，使得阿曼西奥·奥特加的个人财富增加了17亿美元。现在，奥特加的净资产达到了795亿美元，而比尔盖茨则为785亿美元。
奥特加出生在西班牙拉科鲁尼亚的一个铁路工人家庭。尽管非常富有，奥特加依然深居简出。他最初在自己的家乡当一名零售店店员，随后他开办了自己的生意。拿着不到100美元的“启动资金”，奥特加和他的妻子Rosalia Mera开始在家里的卧室里制作起内衣、睡衣和睡袍。
在1975年，夫妻两人决定开一家零售店，名字叫做ZARA。八年后，奥特加的零售店已经开到了西班牙国内九个不同的地点。在随后的1984年，他开办了占地面积近1000平方米的物流中心。
与大多数零售商不同，Inditex很少打广告。奥特加把大部分资源都投入了把公司打造成世界上效率最高的零售集团的努力中。当Gap和H&M在2000年花五个月的时间完成设计到加工到分发再到销售的流程的时候，ZARA只花了三个星期。这意味着奥特加的公司可以更迅速地跟上消费者的爱好转变，同时也可以有效地减少库存。
奥特加的公司在2001年正式上市，他本人也在同年以66亿美元的身价登上了福布斯富豪榜。那时候，盖茨正坐拥587亿美元的资产，稳稳占据了世界上最富有的人的头衔。
2001年到2002年间，当绝大多数亿万富翁都为互联网泡沫破裂捶胸顿足的时候，奥特加的资产又增加了25亿美元。这使得他跃居全球第25富有的人。无论奥特加使用了怎样的“魔法策略”，他在七年后的全球经济危机中又上演了帽子戏法。从2009年到2013年，西班牙的国内经济一片疲软的时候，奥特加的个人财富又增加了390亿美元。
早在一年前的2015年10月，奥特加就曾短暂地占据过世界首富的位置。当时Inditex股票达到了历史最高点，带动奥特加的个人财富增加到了800亿美元。但股票很快回落，于是盖茨又回到了熟悉的首富交椅上。未来，奥特加和盖茨两人可能还会轮流占据世界首富的位置，这取决于他们所持有的股票的波动情况。
盖茨非常热衷慈善事业，他已经向自己的慈善基金会捐赠了总计310亿美元的股票和现金。如果盖茨不是一个如此真诚的慈善家，世界上任何一个人都不可能拥有接近他的财富。当然，这也包括奥特加在内。
