About Paolo Bulgari

Paolo Bulgari, a great-grandson of the founder of luxury jeweler Bulgari, joined the company when he was 18.

A law student at the time, he was asked by his father to design necklaces, rings and bracelets.

Paolo became chairman of Bulgari in 1984, while his brother Nicola became vice chairman.

In 2011, the Bulgari family sold its controlling stake to French luxury conglomerate LVMH for $5.2 billion in cash and stock.
