I know it has been a few years since the start of this conversation but I have some relevant information that could help understand his origin. His dad was a Spanish citizen that migrated to Mexico during the Civil War in the 1930’s. He was a rich man, tho not wealthy. Their family is from Castilla, so when coming to Mexico Ricardo Antonio’s dad opened up a restaurant. While it’s not clear how he made all of his fortune, I can confirm he came from money while growing up. He started a gas company here in Mexico, based out of Cancun and Mexico City primarily, o wining over 100 gas stations. Also, he invested a lot into real estate and construction.
The connection between Ricardo Antonio Vega Serrador and cars is not a surprise tho. In the early 2000’s he associated with a guy in Mexico City and opened up a broker that used to import Ferraris, Maseratis & Lamborghinis to Mexico, this broker was called Scuderia Mondiale. A few years later they got the license for the Mexico City Ferrari dealership, expanding with the years to other cities like Cancun, Guadalajara and Monterrey. I don’t remember the exact year but his partner died suddenly and he got 100% ownership of these dealerships. I don’t know when he got granted the Ferrari of Austin dealership, but one of his companies is the owner. He’s also owner of Lamborghini of Austin, McLaren Houston and Porsche & Mercedes dealership around the US, Mexico and Spain. Also, he’s got a crazy car collection, talking about hundreds of millions invested in it.
Additionally, he’s the owner of GoMart in Mexico, got the whole Wendy’s & Subway franchises in Mexico and apparently has other gas stations around Texas too. He was accused of money laundering by the Mexican government and also by colluding with the ex governor of Cancun, buying a lot of land for 1000% less of its value. He also owns many restaurants in Mexico, such as Torre de Castilla, which is one of the most famous and expensive in Mexico City, and Centro Castellano.
About his family, he married into a Mexican wealthy family and had 3 children: Ricardo, Antonio & Manuela. They’ve all worked in their companies and as showed previously in this thread, one of his sons got from an internship in Subway to managing partner in Lamborghini of Austin.
