Pozo. Pelayo studied Industrial Engineering and Management at Northwestern University. After having worked for Lehman Brothers Private Equity, Arcelor Mittal Strategy and Societe Generale Natural Resources, he has worked in Ecofin Global L/S Fund. He is on the board of directors of several companies such as Northern Gold Mining and Engel & Volkers, among others. He is married to Jane Coppée Vaxelaire, a Belgian Sotheby's art expert and granddaughter of the Baron Raymond de Vaxelaire, member of one of Belgium's most important industrial families. Koplowitz is known to have a very low-key way of life and an extremely discreet social life. It is rare to see her at any social event besides the ones organized by her foundation and she always uses commercial airlines when traveling. Between 2004 and 2006 Koplowitz was in a relationship with a Spanish aristocrat Carlos Fitz-James Stuart, 19th Duke of Alba. Since 2012 she has been in a relationship with a Portuguese businessman and aristocrat Miguel Pais do Amaral, Count of Alferrarede. Klopowitz was brought up Catholic by her mother and was for some years associated with the Legionnaires of Christ. Her Cuban-born mother, Esther Romero de Juseu y Armenteros (died 1968), started a legal battle to obtain the Marquessate of El Real Socorro, which ended in 1971 with Koplowitz gaining the nobiliary title; her sister Esther obtained in court in 1988 the County of Peñalver. In March 2017, the court ruled that a distant relative, María Elena de Cárdenas y González (born in 1919), has better rights to the title of Marchioness of Bellavista than Koplowitz. However, until all legal options are exhausted, the decision is not yet final. The Spanish Ministry of Justice has not yet issued the Royal Letter of Succession for the Marquessate of Bellavista in favor of de Cárdenas or the corresponding revocation of the title, therefore, the title remains legally in Koplowitz's possession. The same month de Cárdenas also won in the Spanish courts the Marquessate of Almendares from another Cuban man, meanwhile in the previous month (February 2017), she gained the Marquessate of Campo Florido from Koplowitz's niece, Alicia Alcocer-Koplowitz.
