Dancing Italian millionaire, how old is he? Gianluca Vacchi - who is he and how did he become famous? Business Achievements of Gianluca Vacchi
A year ago, a video circulated on the Internet in which 49-year-old Italian millionaire Gianluca Vacchi danced with his then-girlfriend, 30-year-old supermodel Giorgia Gabriele. Now he has property - the very villas and yachts against which he was photographed for Instagram. found out what happened to the wealth of the extravagant Italian.
“Do you want an interview? It's easy, but only at your expense. You know, I’ve run out of money,” joked Gianluca Vacchi when a correspondent for the Italian newspaper Quotidiano called him. The day before, the press reported that his villas and yachts were being taken away by the bank, to which the millionaire owed 10.5 million euros.
Detractors early. Gianluca believes that with his wealth, 10 million is nothing. If you believe him, the reason for debt is not lack of money. There was simply an error when calculating interest on the loan. He refuses to pay until they are recounted or there is a corresponding court decision.
The scale of property seizures, according to the Italian, is greatly exaggerated. He still has room to dance. True, the bank got the golf club, which his father loved very much. But it doesn't matter. “Dad died a long time ago,” says Gianluca. “There was no point in paying for it.”
Family business
Gianluca's fortune is estimated at 450 million dollars (about 27 billion rubles). Media claims that his annual income is up to 20 million. The problem is that this is almost impossible to verify: he is not obliged to disclose true information about his income and is vain enough to exaggerate it.
Gianluca is a wealthy heir who lives on dividends. His family owns the IMA Corporation, a major manufacturer of machines for packaging food, drugs and cosmetics. 55 years ago, the Vacca family bought the company from a struggling Italian inventor. By 2016, the company's turnover exceeded a billion euros, and its net profit was 101 million euros.
According to media reports, Gianluca received a third of the IMA. In 2010, the company reported that he owned 876 thousand shares. Since then, information about his share has not been published; it could either decrease or increase.

In the late 1990s, Gianluca was responsible for investor relations at IMA for two years. In 1999, he joined the board of directors, but his powers are extremely limited. He cannot participate in the management of the corporation; this is done by Alberto Vacchi, Gianluca’s cousin and the complete opposite. Alberto gets up at six in the morning, works until late in the evening and tries to stay away from his extravagant relative.
Italian media claim that the IMA pays Gianluca five million euros annually. According to Quotidiano's caustic definition, this is a payment for not meddling in the company's affairs.
Business career
In his youth, Gianluca tried to do business. “I only inherited three or four percent of what I own,” he said in a recent interview. - From 25 to 35 years old, I worked in twelve sectors of the economy. I was involved in the tourism business, mobile homes, and wristwatches.”
Indeed, in the early 2000s, Gianluca used family capital to buy several companies. Whether this was beneficial is another question.
A lover of beautiful girls, fitness, tattoos, fashion and Latin dancing, millionaire Gianluca Vacchi has become very popular on the Internet. All the secrets of the dancing millionaire Gianluca Vacca.
Brief biography of Gianluca Vacchi
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 the business of Gianluca Vacchi
49-year-old businessman Gianluca Vacchi heads the company 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 Vacca, who, unlike Gianlucca, 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 Gianlucca 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,” Gianlucca admitted in an interview, “this allows me to realize myself the way I want.”
About fashion and Gianlucca
Much more than packaging or car trailers, Gianlucca 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 Gianlucca’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 the women of Gianluca Vacchi
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 wife, 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 (Vakka’s current wife), as they say, are of the same type. By the way, the millionaire’s wife used to have an affair with Davide Lippi, the son of the famous football player Marcello Lippi.
The pleasures of Gianluca Vacchi
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 “#gvlifestyle.”
About Gianluca Vacchi's favorite vacation spots
Most often, the eccentric millionaire can be found in Miami, Ibiza, the ski resort of Cortina d'Ampezzo and Porto Cervo in Sardinia. Naturally, these are the most famous places where the rich and famous have fun.
I’m trying to imagine: here he is late in the morning, here he gets up and admires his reflection in the mirror for a while, here he meticulously chooses clothes for that day, here he has breakfast, goes to sunbathe, sails on a yacht, dances on the deck with a beautiful girl... And all this time he takes pictures of himself or shoots a video with himself in the main role. He knows all the best angles and all the fashion trends in photography. One take, a second, a third - no spontaneity, everything should look perfect. And it looks.
And, looking at Gianluca Vacchi's glossy Dolce Vita - like a perfect apple rubbed with wax - I ask questions. What is the meaning of his dance - the dance itself or the conscious dance for the cameras? What is the point of a professionally staged shoot for a person who is not an actor? Is the woman next to him a partner or an extra? And, finally, would these photos and videos have become such hits if a lady of his age had danced with him, and not a young beauty faceless in her impeccability?
Lately I've been thinking a lot about the paradox of the "dancing millionaire": a sleek, rich, athletic and elegant 49-year-old man should delight women, but instead he irritates them terribly. It is clear that several factors came together here. And jealousy in the spirit of “green grapes” (“Oh, he needs a young girl, but he wouldn’t even pay attention to me? Well, please, I didn’t want to hurt him, I don’t like him myself!”), and unfavorable associations with his own men (“ okay, mine doesn’t dance, but he disappears online all day long”), and violation of unspoken agreements about behavior appropriate to his age and status (“by the age of 50 he should be an aksakal, support and support, take responsibility and lead - and here an infantile playboy, for whom his brother plows in the office, and he himself rides a children’s car down the slide into the pool!”). There is also resentment here for undisguised selfishness: let a millionaire dance with a woman, but she is an obvious appendage; there is no “we” here, there is only an extremely inflated “I”. We would applaud the mating dance of a man in love, but we see only the eternal peacock mating dance with himself.
And yet this is not enough. And recently, it seems to me, I understood the very essence of this paradox. Women are uncomfortable with the fact that in Gianluca Vacca we are not dealing with a narcissistic man or even with an infantile adult teenager. We're dealing... with a teenage girl!
Remember how metrosexuals appeared - men who looked after themselves with completely feminine care? Women were then confused: on the one hand, it’s nice when a well-groomed partner is next to you, on the other hand, not only does he lose the brutality inherent in the sex, he also, in a sense, occupies our territory. While fighting for feminist values, we once took away from men a good half of their original rights and qualities, and now the pendulum has swung in the opposite direction. They are no longer stronger than us. Their effeminacy is now expressed not only in self-care, but also in behavior (“why should I give up my seat to you?”) and, in general, in a refusal to take responsibility.
And now a new trend is forming before our eyes! The man is no longer even embodying a woman’s scenario, now he is a girl! Look at the luxurious Gianluca: he not only behaves like a young man (and, by the way, young people really like him for this, they perceive him as “one of their own” and “cool”), he takes selfies with the exhibitionistic care of a little coquette. Yes, he doesn’t pout or toss his hair, but he flexes his muscles and plays with his tattoos. He records his every step in the spirit of “me in the background”, practices poses, captures food and clothes, tracks “likes” and, it feels like, generally exists for the sake of endless replenishment of Instagram.
We would forgive this to a real girl, we would probably forgive an actor or, say, a politician. But for a man who positions himself precisely as a man, an enviable companion, no. It makes us anxious and irritated. External masculinity, embodied in muscles, beards and tattoos, is a fiction. We stretch out our hand to lean on a man’s shoulder, and there is the shoulder of a capricious, narcissistic teenager, slippery with suntan lotion.
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.
Gianluca Vacchi's house in Bologna
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!
An inheritance amounting to millions, a sonorous name and a passion for a luxurious life became the determining factors for Gianluca Vacchi. Who he is and why he captivated people so much, we will tell you in this article. He was dubbed the Italian Bilzerian (millionaire Dan Bilzerian - “King of Instagram”, who lives by the principle “you can’t forbid living beautifully”) and the “Dancing Millionaire”.
