Renowned fashion designer Giorgio Armani has passed away at the age of 91. Leaving behind a 12 billion dollar fortune that includes not only his fashion empire but also investments in hospitality and luxury living, Armani's death has brought the question of "Who will inherit the legacy?" to the forefront.
ARMANI'S COMPANY WILL CONTINUE TO OPERATE
Giorgio Armani S.p.A., owned by Armani, generated 2.7 billion dollars in revenue as of 2024. The company renovated its stores and expanded its e-commerce network with an investment of 389 million dollars. While an EBITDA of 468 million dollars was reported at the end of the year, cash reserves reached 668 million dollars.
It is projected that if the company were to go public, its market value would be in the range of 8-11 billion dollars.
WHO WILL RECEIVE ARMANI'S INHERITANCE?
Armani, who never married and had no children throughout his life, decided years ago how he would transfer his inheritance. The Giorgio Armani Foundation, which he established, will consolidate all shares to ensure the company's independence and long-term stability.
The foundation's board will include Armani's sister Rosanna, his nieces Silvana and Roberta, his nephew Andrea Camerana, and his close colleague Pantaleo "Leo" Dell’Orco. Thus, Armani's fortune and business empire will be maintained by family members and trusted executives.
A portion of Armani's personal wealth will be transferred to social projects and cultural funds for the benefit of society.
