Jorge Carlos Vergara Madrigal (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈxoɾxe βeɾˈɣaɾa]; 3 March 1955 – 15 November 2019) was a Mexican businessman and film producer.

Vergara was also owner of Costa Rican football team Saprissa (2003–2011)[1] and Major League Soccer club Chivas USA (2004–2014).

Vergara produced internationally recognized films such as The Assassination of Richard Nixon and the Oscar-nominated Y Tu Mamá También through the production company, Producciones Anhelo.

Back in the 1980s Vergara sold condominiums and timeshares in Manzanillo, Mexico, where he met and began working with John Peterson.

Today, approximately 5.2 million people distribute Omnilife products in 22 countries, while the company has reached annual sales of nearly $4.2 billion.

Shortly after he took ownership in Mexico, while attending the 2004 U.S. Major League Soccer All-Star Game, he announced intentions to expand Chivas to MLS.

Chivas USA was initially successful; in its first five seasons of operation, the team recorded four straight MLS playoff appearances.
