Who took away half of Versace's inheritance?

When it comes to the women of the Versace family, everyone always remembers Donatella Versace, who has silver hair, a big mouth and is extremely thin, mostly because she is the current creative director of Versace.

But in fact, when Gianni Versace (founder of the Versace brand) was alive, he had a woman he loved more - Donatella's daughter Allegra Versace.

Why is Versace said to love her the most? Because when he was still alive, he made a surprising decision in his will - leaving 50% of the entire Versace Group to her. Her mother, who owns 20% of the shares, and her brother-in-law, who owns 30% of the shares, are both her "minions".

However, more than ten years later, worth as much as 800 million U.S. dollars, she has turned into this worrying appearance...

People can't help but wonder: What happened in the past ten years...?

Let Mr. Zuoshi explain it to you in detail.

When Versace himself was alive, he liked to call Allegra "my little princess". In the "New Yorker" report, he loved Donatella Versace's children. He once said: I want to see my nieces and nephews grow up, and I want to see them have children of their own. "

He and Allegra's relationship was like a father and daughter, so much so that after Versace learned that he had cancer, he said to his sister: "I want to leave everything to your daughter, and I want to make sure you take good care of her." Donatella accepted " New York Magazine" said in an interview.

But no one thought that this day would come so quickly. In 1997, a piercing gunshot was heard on Miami Beach, and Versace was brutally shot. This also cast a huge psychological shadow on the young Allegra.

Although you have to wait until you are 18 to inherit this inheritance, Allegra has become the key protection object of the Versace family as she grows up. She can’t ride a bicycle or play in Lake Como near her home. When she goes out, she must be surrounded by a large number of bodyguards. Even when she goes to school, she has to ride in a bulletproof car... She is immersed in sadness and gradually Becoming withdrawn, unwilling to go out, unwilling to be exposed to too much public view.

Allegra cried uncontrollably at her uncle's funeral

Italian media once broke the news that Allegra showed signs of anorexia two months after her uncle passed away. This statement was confirmed in a public statement issued by her mother Donatella in 2007.

"Allegra has struggled with anorexia for many years. He is currently receiving the best medication and is gradually recovering." Only then did everyone realize that this girl who seemed to have everything was going through suffering in her heart that should not belong to her age.

Later in an interview with "Harper's Bazaar", Allegra said: "I have lived in darkness for many years. The memories of my life before that special day have become very few and very confused."

While suffering from mild anorexia, her cheeks were still round and plump.

When anorexia was at its most severe, she had lost weight to less than 70 pounds...

Allegra revealed early on that her true interest lay in acting. exist

While studying at UCLA, she chose French, history, and drama, and starred in several unknown independent, small-budget films, enjoying the feeling of hiding in a corner doing what she loved.

Later, she gradually began to engage in behind-the-scenes work related to fashion. Working with a niche designer, she was responsible for the promotion and creativity of the entire fashion show.The most attractive thing about this job for her was that "I am no one in this."

However, according to independent.co.uk, Donatella Versace once said: She can do whatever she wants before the age of 23, but if she has not made a name for herself, she has to shoulder her responsibilities.

Obviously, Allegra's own career has not improved significantly. She gradually appeared in social situations accompanying her mother, although her exposure was limited.

In 2011, when she appeared at the event, she looked much better than before.

"Hollywood parties are not for me, but I know what I am doing. Since everyone calls me the heir, I will work hard to learn business management, be as social as possible, and assume my due responsibilities." Allegra said.

Is the life Allegra wants now? As bystanders, we have no way of knowing. But in the photo taken by Dailymail.co.uk in March this year, she was doing running training under the guidance of a personal trainer, but her legs were still painfully thin.

Probably only God knows whether the half of the family fortune that his uncle left to him is a great blessing or an invisible pressure.

And the other heroine in today’s story - Francesca Versace, as another niece of Gianni Versace (the daughter of Versace’s brother), she has not changed from this. After receiving half of the huge inheritance, he also embarked on a completely different life path from his cousin.

She has shown great enthusiasm for fashion since she was a child. When she was 10 years old, she went out wearing a Versace denim jacket with a Medusa pattern on it, and was held by a supermodel on the catwalk of Fashion Week. "From that moment on... I decided that I loved fashion and this was my future career," Francesca said.

Francesca said in an interview with Vogue.co.uk that her uncle Versace showed her many books with great visual impact. Whenever she asked to go to the mall to look at clothes, he always said: Go to a bookstore, books are the most important thing. "I was really sad when he passed away. He had a huge impact on us all."

Perhaps because she did not have the huge "burden" of inheritance, Francesca did not gain the attention of the world like her cousin and endure the pressure that was inconsistent with her actual age. She is like an ordinary rich second generation, living as easy as ever. She has traveled and studied in many countries, and has mastered German, French, English and Portuguese.

After graduating from Central Saint Martins in London in 2006 with a degree in fashion design and merchandising,she launched her first design line named after herself - Francesca V collection. Later, Francesca worked for the Italian fashion company Verri Uomo. His father told her: You don't have to work in fashion if you don't want to. "I could see in his eyes that he wanted me to continue," Francesca said.

Both her father and aunt are very supportive of Francesca’s involvement in the fashion industry outside of the family business. According to WWD, in 2011, she designed a series of retro-style handbags for SEDICI45. Later, she collaborated with BRIC'S, an old Italian leather goods company, to launch the "FV_Bags" series.

"FV_Bags" series

This year, Francesca officially entered the fashion industry and launched personal bag brand f.e.v (the name is derived from the abbreviation of "Typical Italian Brand").

Although Francesca plays the role of a strong woman, she loves traveling privately. She is good at tennis, skiing, diving, yoga, Pilates, etc., and has a handsome Brazilian husband and children.

Two girls from the Versace family who were 4 years apart, one became the "heir" of a huge inheritance, and the other never received a penny, actually started two such different lives. This may prove that what wealth and attention can sometimes bring you is far less valuable than the word "freedom".

After writing this story, I thought of the video of Faye Wong being interviewed in the early years: What is your biggest worry now? She straightened the bangs in front of her forehead and said calmly: It's too red. This is no joke. Perhaps only those who are surrounded by great fame and wealth can experience the trouble of being burdened by fame.

Some people yearn for fame and wealth, while others long for freedom. Most people actually have no choice. In life, some people must choose to sacrifice one side in exchange for the longevity of the other side. When this multiple-choice question is placed in front of you, how will you choose?
