Antonino Fernandez came from the village of Cerezales del Condado (current population 80)in Spain. He was born there in 1917 and went to Mexico to make his fortune. He did. He founded the Cornoa brewery and became very wealthy indeed. He cashed out his chips in August at age 99. And he wanted to do something nice for the people of his village.
He left $210million dollars to the villagers. That works out to about $2.5 million each.
He was one of 13 children. He had to drop out of school at age 14 because his parents couldn't afford to keep him in school. He moved to Mexico shorty after WWII and eventually became the head of Grupo Modelo and made tons of money.
Sounds like he must have been a basically nice guy.
