8. Americo Amorim
Amorim is a successful Portuguese businessman. He has an approximate net worth of $4.6 billion, and turned a small cork business started by his grandfather in the 1800s, into an empire. His company, Corticeira Amorim, is the world’s largest cork producer, and the business brings in $650 million in sales. The company also has tourism and real estate investments. Even though Americo Amorim is no longer involved in the daily operations of the company, he still owns 5% of Corticeira Amorim, which means Amorim is constantly making a pretty penny. The savvy businessman is also heavily invested in energy and finance, so it’s likely that he’ll be pretty rich for quite some time.
