Amancio Ortega, who is the man behind the Spanish brand Zara, was the one who accumulated more wealth in the last 365 days, adding 19.5 billion dollars to his fortune, and knocking down Warren Buffet to the fourth spot on the list, which makes this the first time that he will not be in the top 3, a place that he has roamed around in since the year 2000.
