Millionaire from Italy. The dancing millionaire who conquered the Internet: who is he and what does he do? Personal life of Gianluca Vacchi

BRIEF BIOGRAPHY OF THE CHARACTER.

Gianluca Vacchi was born in 1967 in Bologna into a wealthy family. The future Internet hero received a diploma in economics. In Italy he became famous for his love of spending time in the company of models and football players, as well as for his love of fitness and numerous tattoos. The millionaire's favorite vehicles are a personal yacht and a personal plane.

ABOUT BUSINESS.

49-year-old businessman Gianluca Vacchi heads SEA Societa Europea Autocaravan SpA, which produces car trailers. In addition, Gianluca is a member of the board of directors of the family company Fin Vacchi Finanziaria Vacchi, which produces equipment for the packaging and processing of pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and food. But that’s not all, Gianluca Vacchi is the owner of shares in such large companies as Eurotech and the Toy Watch watch brand. At the same time, you shouldn’t think that Vakki created his business from scratch, and he’s such a great guy. In fact, his father founded the packaging equipment company in 1961.

Moreover, the family business is actually managed by the millionaire’s cousin, Alberto Vacchi, who, unlike Gianluca, leads a very modest lifestyle and does not appear in public. So, if the millionaire had not been lucky with his father and cousin, then Gianluca would hardly have been able to combine a cheerful lifestyle with successful business activity. “I’m lucky that in my family there are people who can both launch a successful business and support it,” Gianluca admitted in an interview, “this allows me to self-realize the way I want.”

Much more than packaging or car trailers, Gianluca is passionate about fashion. For example, he bought a share of shares in the watch company Toy Watch for a reason, but to found his own brand GV, under which T-shirts and accessories are produced. If we talk about Gianluca’s style, he loves everything that “normal people don’t wear”: silk pajamas with polka dots, pink trousers, trousers with prints of tropical flowers and other wardrobe excesses.

ABOUT WOMEN.

In Italy, Gianluca Vacchi has a reputation as a Don Giovanni; slender and fit young brunettes most often become victims of his charms, so the millionaire’s current life partner, Giorgia Gabriele, is a typical illustration of Vacchi’s tastes. Before her, the millionaire noted that in 2011 he had an affair with Melissa Satta, an Italian TV presenter, Victoria's Secret model and actress born in Boston (USA). The couple also had a significant age difference; at the time of the relationship, Melissa was 25 years old, and Gianluca was already 45. By the way, outwardly, Melissa and Georgia are, as they say, the same type. By the way, Giorgia Gabriele used to have an affair with Davide Lippi, the son of the famous football player Marcello Lippi. Not everything is clear about Georgia Gabriele’s status either; some media call her the wife of a millionaire, others call her just a girlfriend.

ABOUT PLEASURES.

Gianluca not only dances well, but also professes and at the same time preaches the principles of hedonism. In April last year, for example, he published a book of his own composition, “Enjoy,” that is, “Enjoy.” The title, so to speak, is capacious, the book, of course, is about how to enjoy life in all its aspects, of course, if you have money. The dancing millionaire tags his Instagram posts related to the “Enjoy” category with the tag “

The life of 49-year-old businessman and millionaire Gianluca Vacchi is like a fairy tale. It seems that there is only room in it for endless entertainment, the most varied and exquisite pleasures and excellent mood, and illness, misfortune, bad weather and depression are prohibited. It’s unlikely that Gianluca could have thought that what would make him famous throughout the world was not his multimillion-dollar fortune and lifestyle under the sign of “luxury,” but dancing and Instagram. In Italy, Vacchi has long been the king of this network, but most Internet users discovered his page only after he posted a video in which he and his wife dance to Ricky Martin’s song La Mordidita.

Recently, Gianluca and his wife Giorgia Gabriela flew to Moscow to get acquainted with Russian culture and participate in the recording of the program “Let Them Talk” by Andrei Malakhov, which will be aired on Channel One. An excellent opportunity to reciprocate Gianluca’s feelings and get to know him better.

HELLO.RU has collected 15 interesting facts about the dancing millionaire. As Gianluca says - Enjoy!

Gianluca was born on August 5, 1967 into a wealthy family in Bologna. His parents decided to retire when their son turned 25 years old. It was then that Gianluca took the family business into his own hands.

Little Gianluca with his father

First, Gianluca bought out his father's company, Fin Vacchi Finanziaria Vacchi, and over time became the head of 30 more companies. The activities of these enterprises are very diverse - from the production of plastics, car headlights and glass doors for washing machines to the production of high voltage cables, packaging for pharmaceuticals and tea bags. His companies employ seven thousand employees, but Gianluca cannot completely retire and enjoy his vacation.

I still work a lot - four hours a day,” says Gianluca in all seriousness.

Gianluca graduated in Economics from the Alma Mater Studiorum University of Bologna.

In his homeland, Italy, Gianluca Vacchi has long been a celebrity. And not at all thanks to dancing or impressive condition. Gianluca turned his own lifestyle into a brand. At first, I published daily photos of my adventures, “looks,” lunches, dinners, entertainment on a yacht/villas/social parties under the tag #gvlifestyle and the obligatory caption “Enjoy!” on Instagram. Then he created a personal website where he sorted all the photos by topic: fitness, fashion, lifestyle, rules of life, tattoo. Of course, only Gianluca himself stars in the leading roles.

Book by Gianluca Vacchi

Gianluca recently released a set of his own emoji emoticons - Gvemoji. Anyone can download them from the App Store for 1.99 euros.

Gianluca can buy himself whatever he wants. And his soul, of course, wants only the best. If you buy a car, then only a Bentley - he has three of them; if you buy a motorcycle, then naturally a Harley-Davidson. Vacca also owns a 14-meter-long sailboat with three engines and a power of 1,050 horsepower, which the millionaire calls “a huge sofa under sail.”

It's so convenient there! “I’m lying on the deck and thinking that the ship is just a nutshell that floats on the sea,” Gianluca Vacchi said in a recent interview with HOLA!

Gianluca is currently building a new yacht, which he plans to launch in March next year.

As you might guess, the millionaire’s real estate is also all right. Gianluca has a house in his native Bologna, which he turned into a kind of gallery-museum.

When I filled the house with various pieces of art, I was delighted and decided that I would furnish the rooms in a minimalist style. Another pride of mine is the spa salon, where a cosmetologist and a manicurist and pedicurist are on duty around the clock. I love to steam there in the Turkish bath and walk along the corridor with shower jets that change the temperature and aroma.

The cinema room in Vacca's house is decorated with a huge art object in the form of an Oscar statuette.

On Via Montenapoleone, the most prestigious in Milan, Gianluca also has property - a luxurious house.

Here I wanted to create the atmosphere of Paris, a kind of boudoir of the late 1900s. There is a lot of gold and velvet in the house. Everything is rich and very French, not a single hint of Italy.

Gianluca also owns the oldest building in the city of Cortina D'Ampezzo, in the Italian Alps. The house was built in 1781 and has since retained its original appearance. The walls of the rooms in Gianluca's chalet are upholstered in wood and decorated with skins and stuffed animals.

Perhaps Gianluca spends most of his time in his house in Sardinia, in Porto Cervo. It was there, by the way, that most of the dance videos were filmed. The two-level mansion with an area of ​​1200 square meters, surrounded by two huge swimming pools, is associated by the owner with the deck of a spacious yacht.

I call this house H2O - such a short but memorable name,” Gianluca told HOLA!. - At first, the villa was completely surrounded by water, but I redid half the territory and turned the house into a wonderful example of architectural art.

Before meeting his wife Giorgia Gabriela, Gianluca was credited with affairs with Jennifer Lopez, Aida Jespica, Belen Rodriguez, Nina Senicar and Melissa Satta.

The millionaire met Jorja at his own party more than three years ago: the girl came to it in the company of her boyfriend and, as they say, part-time his friend. Vakki was fascinated by the guest and quickly won her favor. The 18-year age difference did not bother him.

For many years I was selfish, but with Georgie in my life, I began to put her interests above mine.

George Gabriela and Gianluca Vacca

George was born in the small town of Sora, Italy. At the university she studied business and economics, but did not want to work by profession. Instead, she first got a job in a reality television show, where she became a real star in a short time.

Now Jorja is better known as a designer. She owns the company Wandering, which has taken a good place in the fashion market. Jorja presented her debut collection in March in Milan. Before meeting Gianluca, Giorgia dated Italian football player Christian Vieri.

Gianluca's body is covered in tattoos. This is not just a tribute to fashion or part of a spectacular image - each drawing, as Vacca himself admits, means a lot to him.

For example, portraits of my parents and aunt, a letter from my grandmother and my response to my mother when she had an accident.

Two tattoos are dedicated to his wife, Giorgia Gabriela. The first is the inscription “From this moment on, the words “affection” and “care” acquired even greater weight.” The second is “I love you, darling.”

Gianluca is characterized by both very bold and very strange antics. So, he can easily ride while standing on the seat of a motorcycle moving at full speed or lower part of the bathroom interior into his pool just for the sake of likes on social networks.

In August of this year, Gianluca suffered a serious infectious disease, which, according to media reports, could have been fatal. Vakki did not tell what exactly happened, writing only:

When your life is at risk, everything takes on a different value. The grass seems greener and the sky is clearer.

Gianluca loves everything beautiful - both in things and in the interior. According to him, he can spend hours on the Internet and study new trends.

Gianluca inherited a love for objects of art. His uncle is an artist whose work was exhibited at the Palazzo Pitti in Florence. And the jewelry that the businessman’s aunt created could be seen in the Tate Gallery in London.

Currently, Gianluca Vacchi's Instagram page has over 5.4 million followers, and this number continues to grow rapidly every day. Follow and enjoy!

Moscow, August 10 - RIA Novosti, Anush Dolukhanyan. Today it became known that the Italian bank BPM has seized the property of Instagram star and millionaire Gianluca Vacchi. In July 2016, he became popular on social networks thanks to a video of him dancing with his girlfriend on board a yacht. RIA Novosti found out what the Italian’s business consists of, how many houses he has and what he might lose.

Who is Gianluca Vacchi?

Gianluca was born into a wealthy family, his father is the owner of the packaging and packaging equipment company Fin Vacchi. Gianluca holds the position of member of the board of directors in this company and has a 30% stake. He also owns the SEA company, which produces car trailers, as well as part of the shares of Eurotech and Toy Watch. In addition, Vacchi founded his own watch brand, GV.

The Italian magazine Il Fatto Quotidiano estimated the Italian's fortune at 1.1 billion euros. In the fall of 2016, Vacchi was in Russia and starred in the program “Let Them Talk,” during which filming of one of his houses was shown.

What did Vakki own and what had he already lost?

On social networks, Vakki publishes photographs in which he spends time in style on his yachts, in mansions and at fashionable parties. Gianluca owns a building from 1781 in the city of Cortina D'Ampezzo in the Italian Alps, a house in Bologna with a gallery-museum, a spa with a Turkish bath and a corridor of shower jets.

On the most prestigious street in Milan - Montenapoleone - he also has a house stylized as Parisian buildings. In Sardinia, in Porto Cervo, his two-level mansion of 1,200 square meters is located, surrounded by two huge swimming pools. This is where most of his dance videos were filmed.

As for cars, the millionaire has three Bentleys and a Harley-Davidson motorcycle. Vacca owns a 14-meter-long sailboat with three engines and 1,050 horsepower, which the millionaire calls “a huge sofa under sail.”

Now Vacchi has lost several yachts, villas and a share in a golf club, which were financial security for a ten million dollar loan taken in 2008. Since then, he has paid only two installments of two million euros, but was unable to close the third, which expired at the end of 2015.

Dance and life partner

Giorgia Gabriele is the same girl with whom he performed the dance that made him famous throughout the world. They met in 2010, but in July 2017 their romance came to an end. During a television program on a Russian channel, Gianluca admitted that his ex-fiancee Rafaella lived with him and Georgia in their house, but this did not interfere with their relationship.

Now, judging by photos on Instagram, the millionaire has a new girlfriend.

Forever Young

Gianluca attends fashionable parties, stands behind the DJ console and mixes music. His body is covered with tattoos, each of which, according to him, has a special meaning.

Evil creditors quickly broke into the sweet life of social media star Gianluca Vaca. He owed Banco BPM 10 million euros and now the bank took Vacca’s yacht, villa and even a share of shares in the Casalunga di Castenaso golf club to repay the debt.

How a millionaire became a star

Many Ukrainians and residents of other countries know Gianluca Vacchi under the nickname “dancing millionaire.” Last year, Vacchi became famous around the world with a viral video in which the 50-year-old hedonist danced with his now ex-partner, 18 years his junior.

The video, posted on Instagram, has received millions of views. It was reposted by users all over the world, and this fever did not bypass Ukraine. This was easily explained: many were inspired by a gray-haired elderly man who, at 49, is in excellent physical shape, is not ashamed of his body and dances so well.
The excitement subsided a little when it turned out that this was not just a grandfather with an active lifestyle, but an Italian millionaire. This guy can afford a yacht with a young wife, a good gym, and the “dancing for the rest of his life” lifestyle.

Vakki throws parties where he acts as a DJ, wears three real diamonds in his beard, and drives around expensive resorts and cities.

In the fall of 2016, he visited Moscow on the air of Andrei Malakhov’s program. And, of course, he organized a club party for Muscovites.

Vacchi now has 12 million followers on Instagram, 1.6 million on Facebook and 44 thousand on Twitter. True, as Quotidiano claims, there is a suspicion that those 12 million are not real people, but “clickers” created by special offices.

Playboy

As can be seen from the photos on Instagram, Vakki loves mostly slender brunettes. He was married only once at the age of 28 and calls that marriage a mistake.

In the famous video, Vacchi dances with his girlfriend Giorgia Gabriele. He even called her his wife, although their relationship was not formalized. They both insisted that they were happy with everything anyway.

Moreover, according to Vacca, sometimes the three of them even live together - he, Georgia and his ex-girlfriend Rafaella.

Now Georgia has the status of an ex - now the rich man is posting photos with former Miss Colombia Ariadna Gutierrez.

Before Raffaella and Georgia, the millionaire’s passion was the Italian model and TV presenter Melissa Satta. In 2011, she married Spanish footballer Kevin-Prince Boateng and then gave birth to his son.

Vakka, as far as we know, has no children. He popularizes his lifestyle not only through Instagram, Twitter and Facebook. Vacchi published his own book "Enjoy", which translates as "Enjoy". In it, he says that after 20 years of hard work in business, he decided to leave it, devote time to himself and start enjoying life.

How Wakki earned his money

The Instagram star is not one of those people who made himself from scratch. He was lucky to be born into a wealthy family in the city of Bologna. In 1963, she bought a controlling stake in the IMA company, producing automation for packaging medications, cosmetics, food, tea and cigarettes. Now it is the flagship business of the Vacca family.

The company is currently headed by playboy cousin Alberto Vacchi. Unlike his relative, he leads a relatively modest life, speaks at business seminars and does not wear a beard or mustache.

The Biografie online website writes that Gianluca owns 30% of the family company. But, according to Quotidiano, although he is on the board of directors, he is not involved in management. For this he is paid 5 million euros annually.

The business that Gianluca runs on his own cannot be called successful. His own brand, Gianluca Vacchi Lifestyle, with an annual turnover of 70 million euros, has losses of 7 million euros.

He took out a loan of 10 million euros, because of which his yacht and other property was taken away, from his own company, First Investments. He made two payments and then stopped paying. The company closed in August 2016, with a total debt of 30 million euros.

Moreover, these are not all of Vacca’s debts. He owes another 6 million euros to the Popolare di Vicenza bank for a villa in Porto Cervo, in northern Sardinia.

"Get Gianluca a job!"

After the news of Vacca's bankruptcy, social networks exploded with a lot of ridicule and parody collages. One of the most popular scenes is the image of Gianluca dancing on a beach boat or by a children's pool. Others started writing things like, “Get Gianluca a job.”

He himself, as it turned out, is not very interested in financial problems. In response to the bank's actions, he posted a video on Instagram in which he sings a line from Lorenzo Giovanotti's song "Pockets Full of Stones": "Grumble people, grumble... silent and remaining cheerful."

He then said that he congratulated everyone from Turkey. “See you tonight in Monte Carlo, and tomorrow in Saint-Tropez,” he concluded his “speech,” made an eloquent gesture as if shaking dust from his shoulder and boarded his own private jet.

Most often, wealthy people prefer to enjoy their wealth in solitude. However, this is not the case with Gianluca Vacchi. The biography of this man is a dream come true for the vast majority of the world's inhabitants. But to touch this dream, you don’t even need to leave your home - it’s enough to have access to the Internet.

Instagram stars

Just 30 years ago, in order to win the hearts of millions of people, you had to be at least a Hollywood star of the first magnitude, a talented athlete or another extremely outstanding representative of your craft. The media carefully selected those who should devote a column in the newspaper or a story in the news. An ordinary person had practically no opportunity to “light up”.

New Internet technologies, where everyone is, in a sense, their own TV channel, have given the common man the opportunity for those fifteen minutes of fame that are so necessary for happiness.

One such broadcasting tool is the Instagram app. It appeared in 2010 and has become the most popular mobile photo program. The reasons for success are as follows:

• Easy photo editing using numerous filters;
• Possibility of sharing pictures;
• You can take a photo directly in the application.

Gianluca Vacchi: Italian millionaire

A man who is far from the world of stars and show business, but has crazy artistry and charm, has gained extraordinary popularity online. We are talking about a middle-aged rich man from Italy, whose name is Gianluca Vacchi (or Vacci; in the original - Gianluca Vacchi).

This gentleman's villa is located in Bologna and is a whole palace with gardens, a football field and a huge swimming pool. A special decoration of the mansion is a gigantic collection of works of art.

Vacca's motto is “Enjoy” (or Enjoy). In his own words, he once discovered with horror that he was dirty both externally and in his soul. And he chose the path to salvation - to bring joy to himself and those around him. He devoted an entire book to his lifestyle and considers it a subject to emulate.

But not everything is so rosy. In this video, plastic surgeon Michael Roddi explained the secret of the dancing 50-year-old millionaire’s impeccable appearance:

Gianluca Vacchi: Instagram

The media around the world paid attention to Gianluca when the American actor Zac Efron spent his holidays in his company in 2014, who called Vacca “the most interesting person in the world.” Efron also kindly advertised millionaire's Instagram page. Since then, the number of subscribers to his virtual photo album has been constantly growing and amounts to several million people.

Among the indispensable attributes of photographs from Gianluca’s life:

1. Dancing. Not ashamed of his mature age, the man lights up no worse than his young wife;
2. Tattoos. Some of the photographs clearly focus on his body, almost entirely covered with tattoos;
3. Music by Ricky Martin- some messages contain references to the millionaire’s current playlist, which indicates his good taste;
4. Yachts, ultra-expensive foreign cars(including Rolls-Royce), private jets - he generously shares all these components of a beautiful life with his subscribers.

The Italian's fame reached Russia relatively late - in 2016 - when he came to the attention of participants in the popular entertainment portal Pikabu.

How old is Gianluca Vacca?

The businessman was born on August 5, 1967 in the city of Bologna (as of 2017 he is 50 years old). He is not the only child in the family - Gianluca has a brother, Alberto, who avoids public life at all costs, but who, according to rumors, bears the entire burden of running the business.

The family is one of the oldest in Italy: among its representatives there are many famous cultural and artistic figures. One of the male ancestors exhibited his works in the famous Palazzo Pitti in Florence.

The odious gentleman received an excellent education: in 1993, he successfully graduated from the University of Bologna with a degree in economics and commerce.

At the time of the peak of his popularity on the Internet, Vakki was already in his fifties. Gray hair and wrinkles are clearly visible on his face, but the millionaire from Italy has no intention of spending the rest of his days in some secluded corner. He is actively involved in sports, as evidenced by some of his photographs, where a rather mature man performs acrobatic stunts that even some young people would envy.

What companies does he own?

Among the companies with which Vacchi is in some way related:

• Joint-Stock Company " Fin Vacca Financiaria Vacca» - is engaged in the production of automatic packaging machines for pharmaceuticals and tea bags. Based in the Italian city of Castenaso. Gianluca is a member of the company's board of directors;
• JSC " Societa Europea Autocaravan» - manufacturer of mobile homes;
• He is also a shareholder in major European brands, including “ Eurotek" and the watch company " Toy Watch».

It should be noted that the significant sums that Vacca displays with such passion were not earned as a result of painstaking work and the sweat of his brow.

He was born, as the English say, with a silver spoon in his mouth. Gianluca is the happy heir to a packaging company started in 1961 by his father.

Passions of a businessman

In everything regarding Vacca’s personal life, one cannot be sure. He has many novels that he flaunts, but even more are attributed to him by the paparazzi. In amorous relationships, he is free from any racial and national prejudices. The only thing that unites all his girlfriends is a serious age difference with him, reaching up to several decades.

Among the hobbies of the middle-aged satyr:

• Even before the rise of social networks, he had relationships with the first Italian beauties Belen Rodriguez and Nina Cenicar;
• In 2011, Gianluca became engaged to Italian-American TV presenter and model Melissa Satta. However, their engagement lasted nothing - a month later, in October, they broke up;
• In 2014, Vacchi allegedly had a romantic relationship with American actress Michelle Rodriguez. Their short affair happened in the summer and was unlikely to have any continuation;
• In 2016, he was spotted in the company of another Hollywood beauty - Lindsay Lohan, who had barely managed to recover from a breakup with a Russian businessman;
• Current crush is Giorgia Gabriele. Who she is to him - his wife or just his mistress - is not entirely clear. However, it is she who adorns his photo feed today.

There are quite a few millionaires in the world, but very few are known by sight around the world. One of them - Gianluca Vacchi, biography which is the subject of envy and admiration. He is the living embodiment of stereotypes about rich people, but he is not at all shy about it.
