Florentino Pérez

Florentino Pérez is the president of both the construction company ACS and the Real Madrid football club. He is currently newsworthy due to two primary reasons: his substantial compensation as president of ACS and legal setbacks related to the redevelopment of Real Madrid's Santiago Bernabéu stadium. In 2025, Pérez's compensation from ACS increased significantly, reaching 9.1 million euros, reflecting a record year for the company. However, Pérez is facing challenges regarding the Bernabéu stadium project. Legal appeals by Real Madrid and the Madrid City Council to overturn the suspension of construction on parking facilities associated with the stadium have been rejected by the Superior Court of Justice of Madrid. These parking projects have been halted for two years, and the legal setbacks are hindering Pérez's vision for the stadium's redevelopment, which has also faced architectural criticisms.
