The Interview
A departure from Ima, the family business, which will earn him 'over 700 million' to open a new chapter of his life focused on 'business, social and my daughter'. This is how Gianluca Vacchi, a Bolognese entrepreneur, DJ and web star with 47 million followers, describes his farewell to the giant of Emilian packaging led by his cousin Alberto Vacchi after the sale of the 13.2% share held in his portfolio.
The Assets
'I left Ima after 30 years and an extraordinary journey. A company that has been and still is very important to me. When I talk about it, it's as if it were a living being, almost as if it had a soul. With my cousin Alberto at the helm, Ima will continue to grow and it's a good thing if it will be listed on Wall Street. I'm not leaving because I don't trust the future scenarios of the multinational, in Ima I have unlimited trust. But because I am a lover of life's transit. I've had many lives, at 56 I will start a new one where I can dispose of my assets'. As for the numbers of the operation, Vacchi reveals, 'my share was sold for over 700 million and will be paid to me in two tranches. The first part already paid immediately, the rest in a few years'. Anyway, he points out in another passage of the interview, 'Alberto is a very good entrepreneur and manager, I have so far been a shareholder in any of my entrepreneurial adventures. We have different talents, but we share the principles of business management. And I believe, knowing him, that he had a laugh about my social dances'. Looking to the future, 'at 56 I will combine the desire for business and that of being a good father. I don't want to exaggerate, I will do what I know how to do'. Without abandoning social media that 'gave me popularity: there are people who come in front of the house for a selfie'. Therefore, Vacchi concludes, 'I am serene. I try to always have new challenges in front of me, new goals. I get bored easily. But not for my partner and my daughter: my family is my life'
