She also holds a stake in Hospes, Spain’s chain of luxury hotels, and owns some more hotels in Italy and Miami. In addition to making her wealth swell, Alicia set up a charitable foundation, which gives Spanish fellows the opportunity to study child psychiatry in England and the US, at places like Columbia University’s Medical Center. Her efforts, to promote the development and study of child and adolescent psychiatry, didn’t go unnoticed as she was named an honorary member of the Spanish Society of Psychiatrists in 2009. She is a mother of three, but has no husband at the moment, having divorced Alberto Cortina in the early 90s.
