The FORBES list is made up of individuals rather than multigenerational families who share large fortunes, although in some cases we include wealth belonging to a millionaire’s spouse and children. This is what happens with Maria Fernanda Amorim, owner of the greatest fortune in Portugal, who after the death of her husband on July 13, 2017, businessman Américo Amorim, concentrated a business legacy valued at more than 4100 million euros. But this year’s list has a lot of news. Starting with a new billionaire, José Neves, a Guimarães native who built an empire from scratch and who is now marking international fashion. After placing his Farfetch on the world’s leading stock exchange, his fortune skyrocketed to over 1000 million euros.
