About
The network (previously named Televideo Services) is named for his wife Alba Elvira Lorenzana, who is from Guatemala. González was estimated to be worth $350m in 2002, and by some accounts is now worth $2bn. González has a conservative political stance, but he aims to keep a low profile and cooperate with host country governments. As part of this strategy, he is said to have modified the editorial lines of his stations, particularly in Guatemala and Nicaragua, to accommodate government preferences.

Companies
Career
Personal life
He is better known as "the Ghost" (el Fantasma) because he deliberately avoids appearing in public. Because of this, only a few photographs of him exist.
His second wife, Alba Elvira Lorenzana, is the largest shareholder of Radio y Televisión de Guatemala, S.A. and Televisiete S.A.; their daughter Jani González Lorenzana (born 1973) is a psychologist by profession, and is the main shareholder of Interacel Argentina as well as holding shares on Televisiete.
González is seen as a gourmet eater, but prefers to eat in low-profile restaurants in Coral Gables, Florida, in order to evade encounters with his questionable invitees. His lunches, often with political figures, are crucial for the political alignment of his stations in the countries where they operate, and often last from 12pm to 5pm.
