He graduated from Catholic University of America (CUA) in Washington, D.C.
Alfonso Fanjul's family owned the Czarnikow-Rionda Company, with operations in New York, Havana and London, and the Cuban Trading Company in Cuba.
His 1936, marriage to Lillian Rosa Gomez-Mena, the daughter of José Gómez-Mena, whose family owned Cuba's New Gomez-Mena Sugar Company, united two of the country's leading sugar fortunes, and created a combined business of ten sugar mills, three distilleries, and Cuban-wide real estate holdings.
