Amancio Ortega Collects €1.6 Billion Today, €3.2 Billion in Inditex Dividends This Year

Inditex founder and top shareholder Amancio Ortega receives €1.617 billion on Monday, 2 November, as the Zara owner pays the last dividend of its fiscal year, elDiario.es reports. That brings his dividend income for the year to €3.234 billion, up from €3.104 billion last year. Inditex is paying shareholders more than €5.454 billion in total this year after raising its dividend 4.1% to €1.75 per share. The payout comes in two equal installments of €0.875: the ordinary one paid on 4 May and Monday's payment, made up of €0.325 ordinary and €0.550 extraordinary. The policy combines a 60% ordinary payout of profit with extraordinary dividends; Inditex reported a record profit of €6.22 billion for 2025, up 6%. Few fortunes in the world produce this kind of cash every year without selling a single share.
