Corona founder dies, makes his entire village millionaires

Written by Teunis Felter

The billionaire founder of Corona beer has reportedly made his entire home village millionaires in his will. Antonino Fernandez, who was born in the Spanish village of Cerezales del Condado in 1917, emigrated to Mexico to make his fortune but clearly hasn’t forgotten his roots. The drinks mogul left the 80 residents of his home village $2.5 million each. Fernandez died in August at the ripe old age of 99. His will left $210 million to the residents of the village in Spain’s Leon province where he grew up in deep poverty as one of 13 siblings.
