THE billionaire founder of fashion giant Mango has tragically died after suffering a horrifying fall down a mountain.
Isak Andic, one of Spain’s richest men, was reportedly found dead after he slipped and fell nearly 500ft on a family trip in Collbato, Catalonia.

The 71-year-old’s son Jonathan is believed to have first told emergency services about the fatal plunge after he tried to save his dad.
Andic was visiting the Collbato Caves in the heart of the magical Montserrat mountain – just outside Barcelona – when the tragedy took place just after midday today.
Jonathan told Spanish cops he heard rocks and sand falling behind him before noticing his dad had fallen down the steep ravine.
When a large team of rescuers – including helicopter units – arrived to the scene they said there was nothing they could do to save Andic.
His body was later recovered around 3.30pm.
Various other members of his family were also on the trip, according to the El Pais newspaper.
Catalan president Salvador Illa paid tribute to Andic on X shortly after his death was confirmed by Mango.
Illa said: “Devastated by the loss of Isak Andic, a committed businessman who with his leadership has contributed to making Catalonia great and projecting it to the world.
“He leaves an indelible mark on the Catalan and global fashion sector. My condolences and those of the entire Government to the family, friends, and the Mango team.”
Spain’s opposition People’s Party leader Alberto Nunez Feijoo added: “I regret the death of Isak Andic, the founder of Mango which is a benchmark in the textile and fashion sector at an international level.
“My sincere condolences to his family, friends, and all the company’s employees.”
Andic, born in Turkey, founded the high street fashion chain Mango along with his brother Nahman back in 1984.
In the last four decades the company has grown into a household name and now has over 2,700 stores across 110 countries.
They also have over 14,000 employees.
The UK currently has 45 Mango shops on dozens of high streets.
Earlier this year Mango announced it was teaming up with Spice Girl, turned business mogul Victoria Beckham for a new collection to mark its 40th anniversary.
Forbes recently estimated Andic’s net worth at £3.5 billion – making him Catalonia’s richest man and one of Spain’s wealthiest people.
He had three children, including Jonathan, and a number of grand-kids.
Mango's statement on the tragic death
MANGO CEO Tony Ruiz said today: “It is with deep regret that we announce the unexpected death of Isak Andic, our non-executive Chairman and founder of Mango, in an accident that occurred this Saturday.
“Isak has been an example for all of us. He dedicated his life to Mango, leaving an indelible mark thanks to his strategic vision, his inspiring leadership and his unwavering commitment to values that he himself imbued in our company.
“His legacy reflects the achievements of a business project marked by success, and also by his human quality, his proximity and the care and affection that he always had and at all times conveyed to the entire organisation.
“His departure leaves a huge void but all of us are, in some way, his legacy and the testimony of his achievements.
“It is up to us, and this is the best tribute we can make to Isak and which we will fulfill, to ensure that Mango continues to be the project that Isak aspired to and of which he would feel proud.
“In these extremely difficult times we share the pain of the family as if it were our own.”

MAPALO ‘Maz’ Mwansa picked up NFL after a trip to Texas to visit a family friend.
He then caught the eye of some players while at university in England running laps of the track.
Now, the electric 20-year-old linebacker is on his way to the United States to compete for an NFL roster spot.
“I had a brief stint in American football when I went to visit a family friend in Houston, Texas in 2015,” Maz told The Sun.
“My uncle was in the garden playing American football and I said ‘how do you throw this?’
“From there I knew about touchdowns and had a small knowledge about the sport.
“A couple of guys who played American football at my university saw me run track there.
“They looked at me and asked what sport I play and I told them I just go to the gym.
“They said ‘what a waste’ and that triggered me.
“I watched some things on Netflix, gave it a browse and delved into the sport.”
Maz went to Loughborough University in England to study a degree in economics.
He ran a 10.4-second 100m and converted that into a 4.45-second 40-yard dash time.
And now scouts have selected him to compete in the International Player Pathway.
“Pound for pound from the power lifting I had good ratios and I was fast,” he said.
American football and the NFL – those are crazy athletes.
“People that are as flexible as gymnasts, as quick as sprinters and built like sumo wrestlers.
What is the IPP?
The NFL's International Player Pathway was founded in 2017.
Every year it gives athletes from around the world a chance to earn a spot on a roster.
Scouts pick a select group of players to travel to the US and take part in training camps.
Players can then be signed as free agents or chosen at the NFL Draft.
There are currently 18 IPP players in the NFL with five of them on active rosters.
Those are Jordan Mailata (Philadelphia Eagles), Efe Obada (Washington Commanders), Jakob Johnson (Las Vegas Raiders), Sammis Reyes (Washington Commanders) and David Bada (Washington Commanders).
“To play American football you need a toughness about you and to be a great athlete, and I feel like I had some of those aspects.
“I like contact and playing the physical sport.
“Playing soccer, I was strong, quick and loved headers so looking back at it I was playing the wrong sport.
“I watched the IPP program last year and saw a future if I train the way I’m training and use my abilities I can get there.
“My parents are proud I’m getting the Zambia and UK flags out there and be able to be a pioneer of something.”

Target are doing this so guests can shop the season’s must-have finds and thousands of low-priced options just in time for the holidays.

For most electronics and entertainment products, the return period has been extended, but high-demand items like Apple and Beats products and mobile phones have shorter deadlines.

For Apple and Beats Products, as well as mobile phones, a more limited 14-day return period applies, with a deadline of January 8, 2025.
Target says the policy is designed to provide flexibility while maintaining clear timelines for holiday returns.
The extended return window aligns with the retailer’s goal to make post-holiday exchanges and refunds easier.
But shoppers are urged to review their receipts and confirm specific dates to avoid surprises.
More details about the updated return policy are available on Target’s website or through its customer service channels.

MAD Vladimir Putin has freed a murderer who strangled his girlfriend and kept her corpse inside a barrel so he can fight in the war against Ukraine.
Evil Alexander Golubev, 24, was only three months into his sentence when he was freed by desperate Putin to fight after it was revealed the dictator had lost around 700,000 soldiers.

The convicted murderer has boasted he is working as a military pen pusher and “having fun” far from the bloody action on the frontline.
Footage shows Golubev at a crime reenactment demonstrating how he killed his long-term girlfriend Viktoria Kurman, 23, who was a computer graphics designer.
When she vanished, the killer pretended to be her, texting messages to her mum Olga Lishefay.
He partied at his flat with friends, informing all of them Viktoria had walked out on him.
But after more than a month, Golubev went missing and stopped messaging.
Viktoria’s mum Olga then became deeply worried and suspicious.
She went to the flat in Veliky Novgorod along with evil Golubev’s mum Marina, and a male friend of the couple.
They found it a mess – with an odour that made them wretch, coming from the green plastic barrel on the balcony which had been glazed to provide more living space as part of the flat.
Sickening footage shows Olga using a knife to open the barrel, cutting through many yards of sticky tape used to tightly seal the lid.
Olga said: “I looked inside and I saw a black plastic bag covered with white [baking powder].

“I rang the police and explained that my daughter went missing and that a barrel was found on the balcony.”
After this, operatives arrived who removed the lid and opened the plastic bag.
Olga recalled the trauma, saying how she was stood nearby and “saw hair“.
She continued: “It was clear that it was Vika [Viktoria], because she had tips of her hair highlighted.
“It was her hair, I recognised it.”
Cops took away the barrel, and the body was confirmed as hers.
Unemployed Golubev was found and arrested five days later, and at his trial in April was sentenced to nine and half years in a strict-regime penal colony.
This is after he fully confessed to killing Viktoria.
He told investigators: “I was afraid she would find out that I was cheating on her and at that moment I just didn’t know what to do.”
The cold-blooded murderer used the strap of her bag to strangle her, and wedged a sock in her mouth to “get rid of the wheezing”.
Then he bound her with electrical tape to make her body a more “convenient” shape to fit in a barrel used to store food or drink, he confessed.

Three months later, Viktoria’s mother was shocked to be told he was no longer in jail and his whereabouts were now a “state secret”.
But it soon became clear that he had been sent to the war under a mad Vlad scheme to release prisoners to fight.
He messaged Viktoria’s friend Alexandra saying that he was “hoping he’d be killed by a missile”, which she thinks was him pretending to be sorry about killing the young woman.
Alexandra said: “Honestly, at first I almost felt sorry for him.
“And then he wrote to his friend saying how he doesn’t care, how much fun he’s having [in the army], how he was in a safe and quiet spot doing paperwork.”
If he remains alive, Golubev will be released after completing military service with his murder conviction expunged from the criminal record.
Golubev is not the only horrific criminal to be released by Putin, as the tyrant is desperate for more soldiers to fight in his bloody and illegal war.
It comes after Nato chief Mark Rutte said that every week there are “over 10,000 killed or wounded on all sides in Ukriane,” with “over 1 million casualties since February 2022.”
The figure suggestsUkrainehas lost around 300,000 soldiers as Britain estimates Russia’s losses are 700,000.
Rutte announced the grim milestone as he warned the 32 national alliance was unprepared for war.
The straight-talking ex-Dutch Prime Minister said: “We are not ready for what is coming our way in four to five years.
“Danger is moving towards us at full speed. We must not look the other way.
“We must face it. What is happening in Ukraine could happen here too.”
