Maria Fernanda Amorim - The only female billionaire in Portugal and the fateful marriage of a lifetime

In Portugal, it's not just men who come out on top in terms of wealth. This country has only one dollar billionaire and that person is a woman.

Sometimes a marriage will change a man's life forever. They get married late not because they are "shy" or forget about their responsibility to establish a family, but it may be that they have not met the girl of their life.

I love my wife so much that my assistant is all men

Currently, Maria Fernanda Amorim is the only dollar billionaire in Portugal. She has a fortune of up to 4.9 billion dollars. According to data from the World Bank, her wealth accounts for nearly 2% of the country's GDP.

However, it is worth mentioning that this billionaire's assets are all inherited from her husband Americo Amorim. Mr. Americo passed away in 2017. He left his entire estate to his wife and she has full control over which children will inherit. They have been together for nearly 50 years and perhaps, it takes complete understanding and trust to be able to give such billions of dollars in assets without thinking.

Americo was born in 1934 into a business family. He and his relatives founded Corticeira Amorim - a cork manufacturing company and built it into the largest industrial empire in Portugal. Later, Americo's career spread to the banking, financial and energy industries.

Americo is smart and inquisitive. He has a rigor in his work that few can follow. According to people who have worked with him, the billionaire is ruthless when it comes to punishing mistakes of his subordinates and hates being late. However, everyone has an exception, his exception is the girl Maria Fernanda de Oliveira Ramos - later Maria Fernanda Amorim, his beloved wife.

Maria is the daughter of a medical doctor and is extremely personable. She is 1 year younger than Americo and quite picky in choosing a husband. At the age of 34, she met Americo. Even though she knew it was a handsome businessman, the girl was not moved at all. However, Americo was 35 at that time, when he found his life's destiny.

He pursued her fiercely, despite the many appointments she was deliberately late to. In the end, that patience was enough to move the girl Maria. They got married in 1969. As mentioned, Maria is extremely personable, so their honeymoon also went to a rather special place: Mozambique. After that, they returned to Portugal, living in a small house in Espinho.

It was not until 3 years later that their first daughter was born. Two years later, two other daughters were born. Although there was no male heir, Americo did not care in the slightest. His wife and three daughters are already his greatest asset.

Talking about not having a male heir for her husband, Maria once joked: "I'm lucky about that. If a baby boy is born he must be very similar to my husband or he will It's going to take a ton of pressure."

It is also because of love that Americo protects his wife and children to the fullest. There are not many pictures of Maria on the internet. He rarely mentioned her, but every time he spoke, he was grateful and his face was always radiant and happy.

"I am very indebted to her," he said in a rare interview.

After getting married, Maria took a step back to take care of the whole family. Americo only needs to focus on the job he is passionate about all his life, housework, child care to all the things that arise behind Maria will take care of it all without her husband having to worry. For her, being with him and supporting him was the happiest thing.

Only one person in the world is afraid of being a wife!

Americo appreciates his wife for her understanding and sacrifices all for his career. At the company, he set a standard in selecting employees. Everyone who worked directly with him on a daily basis was male. From driver, assistant and secretary, he has never used a woman. He didn't want his wife to think anything of his loyalty.

Going out can call the rain to call the wind, but Americo is only afraid of his wife the most.

On one occasion, he was going to a meeting at the company headquarters to Mozelos. He was in a car accident and had a large, bleeding bruise on his forehead. He still rushed over, chaired the meeting, and then went to treat the wound. Despite advising everyone not to let his wife know, in the end, the matter still reached Maria's ears. The billionaire who owns a series of companies with tens of thousands of employees was quite alarmed when his wife called to visit him about his head injury.

He is so busy, but on weekends, he completely leaves work to rest with his family, gather with his wife, children and grandchildren. Every year, he also spends 2 weeks on summer vacation with his wife and children. He also had time to play tennis but had to stop soon after his wife asked for it because of health problems.

During the nearly 50 years together, Maria never asked her husband to leave work because she understood that it was his only passion.

They celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary with a lavish party at De Grijó Monastery with more than 600 guests. There, he said deep thanks to his wife. He even considers himself indebted to his wife for what she has given her throughout his life.

On July 13, 2017, the family announced that billionaire Americo Amorim had died of heart disease. A series of mourning is for the billionaire with a lifelong passion for working. He left his fortune to his wife, making her the only dollar billionaire in Portugal. And to this day, widow Amorim remains firmly in that position.

It is true that once men receive complete support and facilitation from their women, men are more likely to achieve success. Americo has only 1 love in her life, but how deep and precious it is. Who said that billionaire's feelings are not durable, Americo Amorim's story will blow everything away and make people understand what true love is.
