Diego de la Valle net worth
Diego Della Valle Net Worth: Diego Della Valle is an Italian entrepreneur with a net worth of $1.9 billion. Born on December 30, 1953 in San Elpidio a Mare, Italy, he continued the family tradition of shoemaking with his brother Andrea Della Valle. His grandfather, Filippo Della Valle, founded a shoe business in the 1920s, which was later led by his father, Dorino Della Valle.
Ultimately, the family business fell into the hands of the brothers, and Diego was eager to extend the family tradition to what is now known as 1978 Tod’s. The Italian leather company aggressively produces luxury shoes and bags, and is growing successfully as sales in mainland China and Hong Kong rose 14 percent. A graduate of the University of Bologna’s law school who gave up a legal career to preserve family tradition, Diego is now chairman and CEO of Tod’s, which together with his brother Andrea owns 56 percent of the company. In addition, the Della Valle duo are part of an 11% stake in Piaggio & SpA and Bialetti Industrie SpA, which also owns shares in luxury eyewear company Marcolin and US retailer Saks. In addition to his interests, Diego is on the boards of many companies including Banca Nacionales del Lavoro, Maserati, Ferrari and LVHM. In addition, he donated $33 million for the renovation of Rome’s crumbling gymnasium. More importantly, Diego is the one who openly attacked Silvio Berlusconi for overtaxing big business and not supporting small business.
