Luca Garavoglia Net Worth

Luca Garavoglia has an estimated net worth of $2.8 billion, according to Forbes Real-Time Billionaires, Luca Garavoglia profile (figures as of October 20, 2026). That is down from a peak of $4.3 billion.

Luca Garavoglia is an Italian businessman and chairman of Campari Group, one of the world's largest makers of alcoholic drinks. Born in Milan on 27 February 1969, he studied at Milan's Istituto Leone XIII and earned an economics degree from Bocconi University in 1994. That same year, in September 1994, he became chairman of Campari, a role he still holds.

His family's link to Campari began with his father, Domenico, a longtime employee. The last remaining heir of the Campari family passed the company to Domenico, and Luca later inherited the stake from his parents. After his mother, Rosa Anna Magno Garavoglia, passed away in 2016, he took control of Alicros, the family holding company. He speaks Italian, English, French and Spanish.

How Luca Garavoglia makes money

Garavoglia's fortune is tied to his stake in Campari Group, of which Forbes estimates he owns about 26%. Campari sells a long list of well-known drinks, including Skyy Vodka, Wild Turkey bourbon, Aperol and the Campari aperitif itself. The company has been listed on the Milan Stock Exchange since 2001, so the value of his holding moves with Campari's share price.

Control runs through the family holding company Alicros. When he took over Alicros, it owned 51 percent of Campari's equity and an even larger share of voting rights. That structure keeps the Garavoglia family firmly in charge of the business. He has also served on the boards of companies including Indesit and Fiat, and on the boards of the FAI Foundation since 2005 and the Telethon Foundation since 2011.

How his Forbes estimate has moved

Forbes estimated Garavoglia at $3.2 billion in 2019. The figure fell to $2.5 billion in 2020, then rose sharply to $4.2 billion in 2021. It eased to $3.8 billion in 2022 before climbing again to $4.1 billion in 2023 and $4.3 billion in 2024, his peak in this period. Since Campari is a listed company, these swings largely mirror moves in its share price.

The next year brought a big drop. Forbes cut his estimate to $2.7 billion in 2025 from the year before. His figure has since steadied, with Forbes putting him at $2.8 billion on its 2026 World's Billionaires List. As of October 20, 2026, the Forbes real-time billionaires tracker also showed $2.8 billion, a little above his 2020 figure.
