Reports that residents of a Spanish village have The Exotic Time Machine (1998)become millionaires after the founder of Corona beer died have been categorically denied by his foundation, Mashablecan reveal.
According to widespread reports by British media outlets, Antonino Fernandez, who was the CEO of Grupo Modelo, the brewery company who make Corona beer, left 200m euros (£169) to 80 residents of Cerezales, the village of Leon province where he was born and raised.
Fernandez, who migrated to Mexico in 1949 when he was 32, died in August. He was 99 years old and a billionaire.
But the Fundación Cerezales Antonino y Cinia, a cultural and contemporary art center established by Fernandez, categorically denied these reports.
"I can confirm he didn't leave money to his villagers in his will," Lucia Alajos, the Foundation's communications department chief told Mashable.
"His family recently opened his will and we actually don't know who got the money from the inheritance. But it's definitely not the town or his neighbours.
"Some family members have a house in the village, but they don't live there. They just come during the holidays."
A host of British news organisations, including The Daily Mail, cited a report on the local paper Diario de Leonas the main source for the story.

He left school when he was 14-years-old, because his parents could not afford the fees.

He worked his way up through the ranks and become CEO in 1971.
A well-known philanthropist, Fernandez established in 2009 the Cerezales Antonino y Cinia Foundation in his hometown to support the local cultural scene.
