The Italian designer came from a family of painters and is thought to be worth around £400 million ($497 million). For many years, the international jet set favored Cavalli because of his extravagant animal prints and penchant for pythons.

Cavalli was well-known for his affinity for large cigars, Ferraris, and his trademark unbuttoned dress shirts that showed off his tanned chest. Along with owning a Tuscany vineyard and a purple helicopter, he was well-known to many Hollywood celebrities by first name.

Cavalli has been dating Swedish model Sandy Nilsson, who is forty-five years his junior, since 2014. Cavalli’s father, who was slain by the Nazis during World War II, was honored by the name Giorgio, the kid they welcomed last year. In an emotional statement, Cavalli revealed the news, stating, “The baby was born in Florence a week ago.

I cried a lot when I saw him shortly after his birth since he is so gorgeous. Like his grandpa, my father, who was shot by the Nazis at the Cavriglia massacre when I was four years old, has the same name, Giorgio.
