Fundación Amancio Ortega (commitments incl. EUR 300m national proton-therapy programme; elderly residences in Galicia)
source ↗

Research gaps: No SEC EDGAR entity for Pontegadea (searched 'pontegadea': no match), so no CIK/13F. CNMV significant-holdings filing not fetched directly; Inditex stake taken from Forbes España. Redeia/Enagás 5% stakes from a secondary outlet; not confirmed on CNMV. PD Ports price undisclosed and closing date not confirmed. Two of the eight H1-2026 property deals not identified. The Post (Vancouver) price currency ambiguous in source (reported 'over $1.1bn'). Hamburg and Chicago deals were reported as in negotiation, not confirmed closed. The eleconomista REN-premium article returned 403; entry based on its search-result headline. Fundación Amancio Ortega is Spanish (no US EIN). No verified trophy assets (no sports teams/media/yachts) found within budget.
