A football night in Madrid changed the public perception of the heir to one of the country's most opaque fortunes. Romeo Becan, the son who most resembles the patriarch, was photographed in the stadium's box alongside Timothée Chalamet, the fashionable French actor. Hours earlier, news had leaked that Romeo stars in a film with a lgtb romance plot, co-starring Chalamet himself. The scene, with Romeo's father smiling between the two, fueled rumors of an official presentation within the family circle.
The story, originally published by La Vanguardia, took on an economic angle when it appeared in the Economy section of the forum where it was leaked. It is no coincidence: the Becan clan, builder of an empire whose origins trace back to the founder's alcoholism according to some sources, moves its pieces discreetly. A son seeking the media spotlight with a high-profile production (and with Chalamet, valued at box-office figures in the millions) suggests a diversification strategy toward the entertainment industry.
Reactions ranged from celebration - "the best era of maniacs in the history of the planet," one user wrote - to criticism from those who considered the topic unrelated to economics. But the underlying story is pure business: the Becan family's brand value, Chalamet's marketability, and the potential return of a film already generating international buzz. The question left hanging is whether this move is part of a larger plan to expand the family's wealth or just a youthful whim.
The striking detail: while the heirs of other empires stay anonymous, Becan's son chose football and the red carpet. With Chalamet as his companion.
