45 years ago Amancio Ortega and his wife started sewing dressing gowns and lingerie in their living room.

Some $20bn later the owner of fashion chains Zara, Bershka, Pull & Bear and Massimo Dutti is the 22nd wealthiest person in the world.

I can imagine there are a few guys out there that might get a kick from making lingerie at home with the missus.

Personally I think Amancio’s been unlucky. I’ve never sewn anything in my life, and don’t intend to. If I did I’d want to come off a little bit better $20bn richer.

I bet he’s sitting at home now wishing he had a really cool website like this, so he could write blogs about people like Kerry Katona and Harvey from So Solid.

Instead what’s he got? 14,000 employees, successful businesses, $20bn in the bank and a St Tropez tan.

Well bully for you Amancio, bully for you.
