Rafael Del Pino y Calvo-Sotelo is a Spanish entrepreneur who has a net worth of $1.7 billion. The second oldest of five siblings (Maria, Joaquin, Leopoldo and Fernando), Rafael is one of the successors of his late father’s company, Ferrovial, S.A. Rafael’s billionaire father, Rafael del Pino y Moreno, founded the firm in 1952 as a railroad construction company, which has eventually turned into Spain’s biggest infrastructure construction and management company.
In 2000, Rafael took over the governance from their father, thus becoming in charge of the company involved in the design, construction, financing, and operation of transport infrastructure. Nowadays, Ferrovial accumulates revenues of around $10 billion annually and operates major airports and highways around the globe, including London’s Heathrow Airport, the Chicago Skyway, the Indiana East-West Toll Road and the Trans-Texas Corridor. It is the key provider of municipal services in more than 800 cities and towns across Spain, including Spain’s capital and largest city Madrid. Furthermore, Rafael Del Pino y Calvo-Sotelo is a member of the MIT Corporation and the International Advisory Group of American financial services company Blackstone. Thanks to his holding companies’ shares, he owns around 20% of Ferrovial. Being married with five children, Rafael loves to practice outdoor sports, from skiing to sailing.
