The Vollmer Family
The Family
The Vollmer family is a Venezuelan business dynasty, most associated with Ron Santa Teresa, one of Venezuela's oldest and best-known rum houses, and known in recent years for social-enterprise initiatives around its estate. Like much of Venezuela's business class through the long crisis, the family and its diaspora connections extend to Miami, the hemisphere's base for Venezuelan wealth and operations. (The family's specific Miami footprint and business details should be verified against current sources before being stated firmly.)
Why They Matter
The Vollmers belong to the cohort of established Venezuelan business families whose fortunes and diaspora ties run through Miami — part of the Venezuelan wave that, at its elite end, made the city a center of gravity for the country's surviving private enterprise. Their inclusion in Miami's dynasty inventory reflects how thoroughly the Latam Capital Era folded Venezuela's business class into the city.
Where You See Them Today
The broader Venezuelan presence in Doral and across Miami is the context for the family's South Florida ties; specific local holdings warrant verification.
