Gildo Pastor (6 October 1910[2] – 21 October 1990[3]) was a Monégasque businessman and property developer.
Gildo Pastor was born in Monaco as the son of Jean-Baptiste Pastor, a stonemason from Liguria in Italy, who immigrated to Monte Carlo as a young man in the 1880s.[3] He was educated at the Public Works School.[2] In 1950, he became the Lebanese consul in Monaco.[2]
After World War II, Pastor acquired oceanfront land at low prices, and in the 1950s, he started building apartment blocks. With a conservative, debt-averse approach, the Pastor family eventually owned some 3,000 apartments, representing 15% of Monaco's total housing stock and worth about €20 billion.[3]
