Gildo Pastor (October 6, 1910[3] – October 21, 1990[2]) was a Monegasque businessman and property developer.
Early life
Gildo Pastor was born in Monaco, the son of Jean-Baptiste Pastor, a stonemason from Liguria, Italy who emigrated to Monte Carlo as a young man in the 1880s.[2] He was educated at the Public Works School.[3] In 1950, he became the Lebanese consul in Monaco.[3]
After World War II, Pastor acquired oceanfront land at low prices, and in the 1950s, started building apartment blocks. With a conservative, debt-averse approach, the Pastor family eventually owned some 3,000 apartments, 15% of Monaco's total housing, worth about Euro 20 billion.[2]
