When it comes to social media celebrities, most times we find young people probably in their 20s or 30s, but hardly in their 40s and 50s. With Italian millionaire, dj and entrepreneur Gianluca Vacchi breaking the 50th mark, that theory doesn’t apply. He’s famous for, among other things, his Instagram dance moves, as well as his tattoos, vibes, and lack of fear of adventure.
Gianluca Vacchi Biography and Age
Described as a Playboy grandfather, Gianluca Vacchi was born on August 5, 1967 in the Italian city of Bologna into a business family. This is what will lead him into the business world. His father is president and general manager of Industria Macchine Automatiche SpA (IMA). The company is engaged in the design and manufacture of automatic machines necessary for the processing and packaging of pharmaceutical products, as well as food, coffee, cosmetics and others.
Although it is not known how he was raised, it is known that he learned to play the piano at the age of 7 from his Argentinian grandmother. His mother also played the instrument, which made him love music enough to return to it, even though he was very old.
Vacchi was educated from the Studiorum University of Bologna where he obtained a degree in Commerce and Economics. At the age of 25, he joined the family business in which he quickly took part and restructured it. Even before he was 30 years old, Vacchi decided to go into shareholding and buying and selling different companies. This is what would soon make him a very rich man.
An entrepreneur and financier, among the officeshe served as President of SEA Società Europea Autocaravan SpA and non-executive director of IMA Industria Macchine Automatiche SpA (IMA). Before retiring at the age of 45, he also served as Finance Director, Vacchi Finanziaria Vacchi SpA
It was at the age of 48 that Gianluca Vacchia decided to hit social media with his movements and images. A self-described artist and global celebrity, he said he doesn’t consider himself too old to do what he does. A video of himself and his then-partner Giorgia Gabriele spending the holidays dancing to a Ricky Martin song landed him the spotlight. Soon the video went viral and that’s how he took Instagram by storm.
Now he takes the time to post different videos of himself dancing or working out or his photos on Instagram to his 11 million followers. He also released a number of singles including one titled Trump-It which seemed to show more of his DJying skills than anything else. He started Djying at the age of 49, contributing to why he is called the Playboy Grandpa.
wife and girlfriend
A handsome man with all the wealth and full of fun, it’s rather surprising that Gianluca Vacchi doesn’t have a wife as he hasn’t been married yet. He did, however, date the Italian model, Giorgia Gabriele. The two dated from 2014 to 2017 when the relationship ended.
They met in 2010 and remained friends until she became his girlfriend 4 years later.
Net value
Silver-haired Gianluca Vacchi is definitely living what many can only describe as a golden life. Most of the images he shares on social media are just testimonies of his luxurious life, crafted by private jets, private yachts and many other things money can buy.
The Playboy grandpa has an estimated net worth of between $350-450 million. And no, he didn’t derive his wealth from social media. Instead, much of his wealth came from his family’s business.
His family is said to own a lot of companies and shares of Ima Group. Nevertheless, Italian media reported that in 2017 his yacht and other assets, including shares, were seized by the bank following a debt he was unable to repay. The loan was placed at €10.5m (£9.5m). That, however, doesn’t seem to be slowing down the social media entertainer, who still flaunts his wealth and dances like he has no issues. As he pointed out, he is no longer interested in money, but in things that satisfy his curiosity.
Height, Body Stats
The Playboy Grandpa is 172cm (5’8″) tall and weighs between 74.8 – 79.4kg (165 – 175 lbs). His age is no obstacle to his appearance and his ability to show excellent movements.
