José Francisco "Pepe" Fanjul (born 1944) is the second eldest of the Fanjul brothers, who control a sugar and real estate business valued at US$8.2 billion.
He is the second son of Alfonso Fanjul Sr. and his wife Lillian Rosa Gomez-Mena. He received a bachelor's degree from Villanova University, and an MBA from New York University (NYU).
Fanjul is the vice chairman and president of Flo-Sun, a Fanjul family-owned sugar growing and refining company, and of Florida Crystals.
Fanjul is a longstanding supporter of Republican politicians, one of the largest contributors to George W. Bush, a leading patron of Marco Rubio, and has co-hosted a large fundraiser for Donald Trump. His brother Alfonso Fanjul Jr. has been a leading Democrat supporter since at least 1992, and was co-chair of Bill Clinton's Florida campaign.
He is married to Emilia May Fanjul, and they live in Palm Beach, Florida. They also own an apartment at 960 Fifth Avenue, New York City.
In 2002, the New York Times reported that Fanjul had "considered" leaving his wife for socialite Nina Griscom, with whom he had a "celebrated affair" (and who was married to plastic surgeon Daniel Baker), but had "changed his mind".
In 2002, their daughter Emilia Helena Fanjul married Brian C. Pfeifler, an investment banker with Morgan Stanley, son of Mr. and Mrs. Brian D. Pfeifler of Gulf Stream, Florida.
