Ágatha on Luis Miguel Rodríguez's debt with the Treasury: "The poor man is saving like crazy"
The king of the scrapyards is by law and fact.
His company is the largest
in the sector on the planet. Nobody has given him anything. He is less than fair in his studies. But in intuition, having the desire to do so is an honorable degree. While Naranjito was causing a sensation in our country in 1982, Luis Miguel opened a company alone at just
25 years old
with which he would become a millionaire.
He inherited a vacant lot of 10,000 square meters from his paternal grandmother
and over time he ended up being
the lord of 1,000,000
square meters. That is, from 1 to 10 hectares.
Tita Cervera is also a friend of LuisMi.CARLOS GARCÍA POZO
It has been a
path with thorns
, but the stems ended up bearing fruit. To be fair, Luis Miguel would not have been who he is today without
his ex-wife Asunción Fernández,
who after the businessman is the one who has the largest percentage of the shares of Desguaces La Torre SA with 49%.
The couple has had two daughters, Marta and Victoria.
In an anonymity of three decades Luismi built an empire. After her
divorce
from him, far from throwing their engines into each other's heads, both continued driving in the good direction in which they still remain the
benchmarks
. Suddenly, in 2013, there was a change of course in the life of this Parleño when he fully accelerated in the gossip press in which he had
Carmen Martínez-Bordiú
(72) as
his sentimental co-pilot
. Both had given way in their respective marriages - she was still married to José Campos - to give themselves a chance despite not being formally divorced. She signed the papers in 2014 and he in 2015. Campos was aware of the infidelity:
"He asked me to leave, take my dogs and leave the house,"
he stated at the time.
Carmen Martínez-Bordiú was his first known girlfriend.
It was said that El chatarrero had a
fortune of 40 million
euros with which he showered
Franco's granddaughter with whims.
There was a temporary cessation in his love, but they soon resumed it. Luismi, generous as always, rented him
a large 600 m2 apartment
on Velázquez Street in Madrid for which he paid 5,500 euros per month. Both had fun showing off palmetto in the most elegant restaurants in the capital
and of course, at the bullfights.
His great passions. They ended in 2017, just when his company entered
bankruptcy.
Mari Luz Barreiros.Mariluz Barreiros.
The 'Bordi', as he affectionately calls her because
they maintain their friendship,
put him in the public orbit, but for years this businessman had been hanging out with the most illustrious names in society. As Luismi had
the contract with the
Madrid City Council for which he collected the cars dumped on public roads and
Alberto Alcocer
(81) - Esther Koplowitz's ex (76) - had the lighting contract, they became friends in less time than they expected. a traffic light changes.
Another of his close friends is Mariluz Barreiros, daughter of Eduardo Barreiros,
who is known as the Spanish Henry Ford for being the creator of the Simca 1000 and the trucks that bear his last name. The socialite and the scrap metal dealer are united by a passion for
automobile museums.
In fact, she collaborated with him in the construction of a museum that would honor the businessman's memory.
Together with Agatha Ruiz de la Prada.GTRES
Despite the regrets and many headaches, Luismi has no trouble warming up when it comes to women. In April 2018 he orchestrated a
birthday party
at her Toledo estate for the lawyer to the stars
Teresa Bueyes,
who
did not end up liking her 'granddaughter' very much while she was in love with her.
La Bordiú was at the event and not only stuck to having a good time, but also introduced her ex to
Ágatha Ruiz de la Prada
(63), recently divorced from Pedro J Ramírez.

During the two years that their
relationship
lasted, they were seen in Las Ventas on such important dates as San Isidro or the Press Association Bullfight, they attended awards ceremonies and exhibition openings, they attended weddings...
Until the designer He put on the brakes following some photos published
in
Lecturas in
an affectionate attitude with
Marcia Di Lele,
Kiko Rivera's ex-partner and alleged lover of Bertín Osborne.
In June 2021, the cover of
Hello!
collected the words of the most colorful designer in our country in which she assured that "Luismi is more than a friend, but I know him too well and I
don't feel like tripping over the same stone more times."
But there was no longer a commitment between them. Luismi was devastated. Like his cars. But there is no skirt that doesn't lift his spirits. He already confessed it to LOC at the time:
"I am incapable of being faithful, I
like women, I have never hidden it, that's just the way I am." That's why he has special friends like different types of relationships like
Antonia Dell'Atte
(64),
Simoneta Gómez-Acebo
(55) or
Raquel Rodríguez
from the duo Las Mellis.

In recent decades, Luis Miguel Rodríguez has spread his
tentacles
into various businesses that currently belong to six companies linked to the hospitality and automotive industries. When in 2018 the world came crashing down on him due to
the debt with the Treasury
of almost 22 million euros plus the 1.3 million with Social Security, he gave the green light to
auction some of his
most beloved possessions to pay off the debt.

Among the jewels sold was a large
part of his collection of cars
that Juan Carlos I (86) once visited at the facilities in Torrejón de la Calzada (Madrid) where
Tsar Nicholas II's Studebaker President convertible

the
Audi V8 with the one in which the then president José María Aznar (75) saved his life due to armor in the attack perpetrated in April 1995. Little by little,
he paid off his debt.
At the San Isidro fair this year she went to Las Ventas with this friend.GTRES
When LOC interviewed him five months ago, he assured that his company had invoiced
"more than 30 million euros"
that year and that it could rise to 40 million. Among his future challenges is opening the
largest
driving school
in our country. Not bad for the
son of a humble cardboard
and paper collector who also has the companies Recambios y Repuestos La Torre SL, El Convento de Torrejón Velasco SL or La Casa Grande del Aceite de Oliva SL
In June of last year, this girl was his companion in Las Ventas.GTRES
Everything he has
is owed to cinema.
As a child he saw a film about American scrapyards, "the fragmented ones where they grind cars and
that idea stuck in my mind,"
he confessed to LOC. In top shape, with a current account that sometimes exceeds the minimum weight desired by many and with the hope of continuing to be surrounded by beautiful women, the world waits impatiently to see who the king of scrap metal will conquer.
