Jorge Mas

Jorge Mas Santos is an American billionaire businessman, sports executive and political advocate. He is chairman and largest shareholder of MasTec, the Miami-based infrastructure contractor his father founded, and managing owner of Inter Miami CF in Major League Soccer.

Mas holds a controlling interest in a company that reported $12.3 billion in annual revenue in 2024, and he presides over a soccer club that signed Lionel Messi and opened its own stadium in 2026. He also chairs the Cuban American National Foundation and has served as president of Spain's Real Zaragoza since 2022. Forbes put his fortune at $1.0 billion in April 2022; the figure has drifted upward with MasTec's growth.

He keeps an unusually quiet public profile for someone in his position. His Instagram account carries roughly 11,000 followers, and he gives interviews mostly when a business deal or a Cuba policy question demands it. Fans of Inter Miami know him as the executive who talks openly about Messi's compensation and about the league rules he thinks are wrong. [edit]

Jorge Mas Santos was born in Miami on February 28, 1963, the son of Jorge Mas Canosa and Elsita Mas. His parents had left Cuba after the revolution, and the family's early years in Florida were shaped by that loss. His father, a prominent exile organizer, founded MasTec in 1969 as a small underground utility contractor, and the company became the setting for Jorge's childhood.

He attended the University of Miami School of Business. The family's political life ran alongside the business: his father founded the Cuban American National Foundation in 1981, and the household was a gathering point for exile politics. Jorge grew up watching both enterprises take shape, one laying cable and pipe, the other pressing Washington on Cuba policy.

He entered the family firm rather than striking out on his own. When his father died in 1997, Jorge took over leadership of MasTec, a company with a modest balance sheet and a strong regional reputation. That handoff is the moment his own career began in earnest. [edit]

Mas built MasTec from a regional utility contractor into one of North America's largest infrastructure firms, expanding into telecommunications, energy and pipeline construction. By 2024 the company reported annual revenue of $12.3 billion. He serves as chairman, chair of the board and chair of the executive committee. His brother Jose R. Mas is CEO.

In 2018 Mas became managing owner of Inter Miami CF, the MLS club he co-owns with David Beckham and his brothers. The team began play in 2020, won an MLS Cup, and in 2023 signed Lionel Messi, a move that transformed the club's global profile. Mas has said Messi's annual compensation runs $70 million to $80 million. In 2026 the club opened Nu Stadium, which Mas called a surreal moment, and he has spoken publicly about hunting for the next Messi. He has also criticized MLS's Discovery rule during the 2026 Casemiro dispute.

Outside soccer and construction, Mas chairs the Cuban American National Foundation, the advocacy group his father founded. In May 2026 he told El País that what Trump did with Venezuela works there but won't work in Cuba. Since 2022 he has been president of Real Zaragoza in Spain's Segunda División. [edit]

Mas presents as a low-key operator in a city that rewards visibility. He gives interviews in plain language, often about numbers: Messi's compensation, stadium timelines, league rules he considers unfair. His Instagram presence is minimal, and his public statements tend to arrive through press conferences or opinion pages rather than social media.

Media coverage frames him as a builder first and a sports owner second. Forbes and business outlets treat him as a MasTec executive who happens to own a soccer club; sports press treats him as an owner who happens to run a construction giant. Both descriptions fit, and he does little to push either narrative. [edit]

iFANN's Global Fame Engine has evaluated Jorge Mas, but as of the October 2026 rankings he does not hold a placement in the published Global Top 1,000 or any Top-100 scope list. His fame is concentrated in business, soccer and Cuban American politics rather than in mass entertainment, and it is not on the September 2026 iFAMOUS Rankings flagship list.

The audience around him is not a fandom in the usual sense. Inter Miami supporters have organized supporter groups and travel to away matches, but they follow the club rather than its managing owner, and no fan organization built around Mas himself is documented. What exists instead is a policy audience: Cuban American readers who track his statements on the island, and soccer writers who quote him because he says out loud what other owners will only say off the record. His public profile stays small by choice; the club's profile does not. [edit]

Mas is frequently confused with the MMA fighter Jorge Masvidal, a mix-up that search engines have done little to correct. He is a Pisces, not a Sagittarius as some databases list; a February 28 birthdate settles the question.

His Instagram account, @jorgemas, had roughly 11,000 followers in 2026, a strikingly small audience for a billionaire. His bio tags @sarastos11 alongside Inter Miami.

In 2021 MLS fined Inter Miami and Mas and suspended executive Paul McDonough over roster-rule violations, a rare public rebuke for an owner. In September 2026 he published an opinion piece titled Believing in Barcelona again, an unlikely byline for a Miami construction magnate.

In October 2026 subcontractors pursued the Mas brothers' Miami Freedom Park venture for more than $20 million in unpaid work, a reminder that stadium projects rarely stay clean. [edit]

Mas is the son of Jorge Mas Canosa, the Cuban exile leader who founded both MasTec and the Cuban American National Foundation, and Elsita Mas. His brother Jose R. Mas runs MasTec as CEO; brothers Jorge Jr. and Jose are his co-investors in Inter Miami. The family name also sits on the Mas Family Scholarships, a program that funds Cuban American students.

In 2021 Mas and his family gave $5 million to CasaCuba at Florida International University, the lead gift for the project. He is married, and his Instagram bio tags @sarastos11. Credible outlets in the available record do not detail his children, though searches for Jorge Mas wife, Jorge Mas daughter and Jorge Mas son are common enough that the silence is notable. [edit]

Mas keeps his personal life out of the press to a degree unusual for a billionaire sports owner. No public dating history is documented in the available record. He is married, and his Instagram bio tags @sarastos11 alongside Inter Miami, which is the clearest public signal of the relationship. Credible outlets do not name his spouse in the sources reviewed, and searches for Jorge Mas wife and Jorge Mas daughter are common precisely because the record is thin. As of 2026 he remains married, and no separation or divorce has been reported. [edit]

Research by the iFANN Editorial Team puts Jorge Mas's fortune at roughly $1.2 billion in 2026. The bulk of it sits in his MasTec stake. Forbes estimated his net worth at $1.0 billion in April 2022, and MasTec's subsequent growth, including $12.3 billion in 2024 revenue, supports the higher figure.

His income streams run across several sectors. MasTec pays him as chairman and largest shareholder, and the company's pipeline, telecommunications and energy work gives the stake a value tied to North American infrastructure spending. Inter Miami, which he manages alongside David Beckham and his brothers, has become a far more valuable asset since Lionel Messi joined in 2023; Mas has said Messi's annual compensation runs $70 million to $80 million, a figure that reflects the club's revenue ambitions. Real Zaragoza, which he has presided over since 2022, is a smaller holding in Spain's second division.

Real estate is the third leg. In January 2026 he bought a Coral Gables waterfront mansion after selling two properties for more than $130 million, a transaction that moved significant capital into a single asset. His public profile remains modest relative to his balance sheet, and he has not disclosed detailed holdings. The estimate above reflects the MasTec stake, the soccer interests and the property portfolio. [edit]
