Ortega keeps a very low profile and, until 1999, no photograph of Ortega had ever been published. He goes to the same coffee shop every day and eats lunch with his employees in the company's cafeteria. He refuses to wear a tie and typically wears a simple uniform of a blue blazer, white shirt, and gray pants; none of which are Zara products. He is also said to take a very active part in the production and design process in the company.
When he made a public appearance in 2000 as part of the warm-up prior to his company's initial public offering on the stock market in 2001, it made headlines in the Spanish financial press. However, he has only granted interviews to three journalists ever[8] and his secrecy has led to the publication of books, such asAmancio Ortega: de cero a Zara (From Zero to Zara).
In 2011, Ortega announced his imminent retirement from Inditex, parent company of the Zara chain, stating that he would ask Inditex vice-president and CEO Pabl
o Isla to take his place at the helm of the textile empire.
He maintained his #3 spot on the Forbes list from 2013, but increased his net worth $7 billion for a total of $64 billion.
