José Luis ‘Pepín’ Corripio Estrada (born 12 March 1934, in Arroes, Spain) is a Dominican businessman of Spanish origin.
Born in 1934 as the only child in a poor family in Spain, Corripio’s family migrated to the Dominican Republic when he was still an infant, fleeing from the Spanish Civil War. The Corripio family went from rags to riches: his father, Manuel Corripio García, founded a small shop, and by the time of the death of the strongman Rafael Trujillo in 1961, Corripio García was the third richest man in the Dominican Republic, only after Trujillo himself and Rafael Esteva Menéndez (the founder of IMCA S.A.). The business grew and diversified, becoming in Grupo Corripio, an economic empire in the Dominican Republic creating over 12000 jobs; Corripio Estrada became the wealthiest man in the country.
