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.

I hope the residents will remain safe with their newfound lifestyles

Very uplifting, thanks :-)

Money for nothing and chicks for free... Good for them

No, the Corona beer founder is not making everyone in this village millionaires

Reports that residents of a Spanish village have become millionaires after the founder of Corona beer died have been categorically denied by his foundation, Mashable can reveal.

According to widespread reports by British media outlets, Antonino Fernandez, who was the CEO of Grupo Modelo, the brewery company who make Corona beer, left 200m euros (£169) to 80 residents of Cerezales, the village of Leon province where he was born and raised.

Fernandez, who migrated to Mexico in 1949 when he was 32, died in August. He was 99 years old and a billionaire.

But the Fundación Cerezales Antonino y Cinia, a cultural and contemporary art center established by Fernandez, categorically denied these reports.

"I can confirm he didn't leave money to his villagers in his will," Lucia Alajos, the Foundation's communications department chief told Mashable.

"His family recently opened his will and we actually don't know who got the money from the inheritance. But it's definitely not the town or his neighbours.

"Some family members have a house in the village, but they don't live there. They just come during the holidays."

A host of British news organisations, including The Daily Mail, cited a report on the local paper Diario de Leon as the main source for the story.

The BBC also reported on the story but did not specify who would be the benefactors. In the article, they pointed out that no-one knows yet who will benefit in his will:

time will tell, its awesome if he did

I thought this was a topic about me

a mingle billionaire would be both unusual AND sad

Why exactly is that? A mingle billionaire would perhaps only be passing a couple of minutes here from his busy life....nothing unsual about that....he could perhaps even be considering purchasing this site and improving it

ok

Business ethics baby....they have no boundaries

Did you just quote Dire Straights? That seems more realistic of the way things usually turn out after the lawyers and tax man get their cuts.

This is great. Wonderful participation. Uplifting and funny. Thanks.
