About Fernando De Leon
Fernando De Leon runs Leon Capital Group, which operates companies across various industries including dentistry, insurance and medical aesthetics.
De Leon was born in Texas but grew up in Matamoros, Mexico and commuted between the countries every day for school. He was the only one in his family who knew English.
He made his first fortune in real estate, but sold nearly all his properties before the 2008 financial crisis after noticing a preponderance of subprime borrowers among new homeowners.
As that crisis abated, he reinvested in real estate, and currently owns millions of square feet of industrial space and 5,000 apartment units across four states.
