Francisco Rafael 'Frank' Rainieri Marranzini is a businessman from the Dominican 
Republic. He is the chairman and founder of Puntacana Group. According to Forbes, 
Rainieri has one of the ten largest fortunes in the Dominican Republic, with a net 
worth near the billion-dollar mark.[5] In 2015, he was designated ambassador of the 
Sovereign Military Order of Malta to the Dominican Republic, a position that his father 
also held 4 decades earlier.[6]

Early life[edit]
Rainieri was born into a family with tradition of hospitality.[4] His paternal 
grandparents, Isidoro Rainieri and Bianca Franceschini,[4] migrated from Bologna,[7] 
northern Italy, to northern Dominican Republic, and established two hotels, one in 
Puerto Plata and the other in Santiago; they had more than 10 children.[4] His parents 
were Francisco Rainieri Franceschini and Venecia Marranzini Lepore (daughter of the 
Italian immigrants Orazio Michelo Marranzini Inginio and Inmaccolatta Lepore Rodia, 
who migrated as children with their respective families, all of them natives of Santa 
Lucia di Serino, in southern Italy).

He went to college in Philadelphia at Saint Joseph's College, now Saint Joseph's 
University.[2]

In 1969, Rainieri and Theodore Kheel,[8] a high-powered New York attorney and labor 
mediator, acquired a 58-million square meter lot on the eastern end of the Dominican 
Republic, which was covered with jungle and six miles of beach.[2][9][10] Their first 
project was a 40 guest hotel called the Punta Cana Club, inaugurated two years later.
[2] In 1979, they constructed The Puntacana Hotel. The Punta Cana International 
Airport followed in 1984.[9] In 1997, Rainieri and Kheel partnered with Oscar de la 
Renta and Julio Iglesias to start work on the Punta Cana Marina and the real estate 
development of the area.[2]
