The Resume

    (March 26, 1954- )
    Born in Wyckoff, New Jersey
    Birth name is Robert Unanue
    Goya Foods President and CEO (2004- )
    Belongs to the prominent Unanue family
    Family net worth: $1.1 Billion

Why he might be annoying:

    His wealth is derived from the family business.
    He and his cousin locked horns with their uncle Joseph over the operations of Goya.
    The brewing family feud led to his taking control over Goya by causing his uncle's ouster in 2004 (they later buried the hatchet).
    He was hotly criticized after praising President Trump at a White House event.
    The comments sparked an uproar with calls to boycott the Goya food line, sparking the trending hashtags #BoycottGoya and #GoyaAway.

Why he might not be annoying:

    His grandfather - who founded Goya - was a Spanish-Puerto Rican immigrant.
    He is known for living a relatively modest lifestyle.
    He lost his father to cancer.
    Under his leadership, Goya diversified and expanded rapidly.
    He lived in Spain with his family for several years where he assisted his father with an olive oil production business.
    He entered the restaurant business and was successful, but was pressured by his family into reentering the business, taking over its Florida division in 1999.
    The boycotts sparked counter boycotts in support of Goya, gaining widespread support, including from the President and his children.
