What is Giuliana Benetton's Net Worth?
Giuliana Benetton is an Italian businesswoman who has a net worth of $3 billion. Born on July 8, 1937, Giuliana is a co-founder of one of the world's leading fashion retailer companies, the Benetton Group. Together with her siblings, Luciano, Gilberto and Carlo, she established the family company in 1965. Currently, Benetton is active in about 120 countries worldwide, and Giuliana is in charge of planning company's knitwear collections and coordinating the product lines. Actually, it is considered that she stared the family business by knitting sweaters that her older brother Luciano would sell by bicycle.
Through the years, her product was sold under various labels before it became the United Colors of Benetton. However, in 2011, Benetton's profit decreased for about 30% to $95 million, and the next year, Benetton siblings erased the Group form the Milan Stock Exchange list due to steeper competition. Besides Benetton Group, Giuliana's fortune lies in shares of various businesses that she owns along with her family. She has also interests in Autogrill, a chain of roadside restaurants, and Atlantia, a multinational motorways operator. Moreover, Giuliana sits on the Board of Edizione Holding, an investment company.
