Manuel Valls: where does his wife Susana Gallardo's fortune come from?
Susana Gallardo is known to be a Spanish millionaire. Her fortune comes in particular from her family since she is the heir to the pharmaceutical company Almirall but also from her divorce from Alberto Palatchi. If the passionate politician, who was part of the boards of directors of multinationals, refused to wage a real legal battle against her ex-husband whose assets in 2017 were estimated at 900 million euros as revealed Paris Match in 2018, she finally kept the mansion in Menorca, in the Balearic Islands, and an apartment in Barcelona.
