Nadia Calvino He even called him to express his rejection of the decision to “leave home”, which has made not only the vice president but the entire Executive leave in a rush. Measures such as forcing companies to return the public money they may have received are already being heard. “It is not acceptable that a company that was born and grew in Spain and thanks to the public investment of Spanish citizens shows this lack of commitment to its country,” they said in Economy as soon as the news that has made front pages and opened newscasts.

The head of the multinational, which operates above all in the transport and mobility infrastructure sector, has not replied that the pleas and reproaches are known and continues with his life; a life that the general public does not know much about, although it has occasionally reached media specialized in social chronicles.

From the cradle he was known because he is the son of the founder of Ferrovial, who was named after him (Rafael del Pino y Moreno), y Ana Maria Calvo-Sotelosister of the former president of the Government Leopoldo Calvo-Sotelo passed away on February 10 at the age of 93. But also because of their marriages and her divorce, in 2016. The separation process of her second wife was not a bed of roses, Astrid Gil Casareswith whom he had married in 2006, after becoming a widower.

The outstanding businessman was free again after his famous break with the mother of his three youngest daughters, seven years ago now. Del Pino has three other children from his first marriage.

Rafael del Pino is 64 years old (he turns 65 on July 14) not a gold bachelor, rather platinum gold and diamonds. Among his fabulous properties we find mansions in El Viso, in Formentera, or in Cáceres. He owns a large yacht and enjoys a private plane.

Astrid Gil Casareshis ex-wife, enjoys a good pension but it is not even close to the amount that she wanted and that del Del Pino’s lawyers reduced after the divorce.

Astrid Gil Casares tried out in the cinema after the breakup and found a place as a film producer. Four years ago she premiered the movie What are you playing?together with Amaia Salamanca, Javier Rey (flour), Leticia Dolera, Mar Saura, Brays Efe and Santiago Segura.

The name of Rafael del Pino’s second wife appeared for the first time in the social (and economic) press when she married the executive in June 2006.

It was the second wedding for him, a widower and father of three sons, and the first for this financial expert who developed part of her career in London.

Ten years later and with three daughters in common, the marriage ended in a complicated divorce, pitting a very powerful man against a wife who claimed to have dedicated ten years of her life to taking care of her husband’s children and the three they they had had together, and that she said she had abandoned her financial career in London to help him in his business, as an expert economist.

According to some media, Gil Casares initially asked del Pino for compensatory compensation of 50 million euros, in addition to food for his daughters and help to rent the house in La Moraleja where he lives with the girls.

While these requests by his wife were rejected in the first instance, Astrid Gil Casares radically changed his image as a financial executive and then the politically correct wife of an important businessman for that of a writer with a punk air, full of tattoos, very short blond hair, and ready to start a new life, far from the millionaire splendor to which she was accustomed.
