Who are the Gucci sisters?

Alessandra and Allegra Gucci are members of the Gucci family, who founded the eponymous Italian fashion brand, and are the daughters of Maurizio Gucci and his wife Patrizia Reggiani. Alessandra is involved in the fashion industry, continuing the family legacy, while Allegra distanced herself from fashion, and went to law school.

Although they have been keeping a low profile, they were thrust back into the spotlight after the release of the 2021 movie “House of Gucci”, which covered the relationship between their parents, and the subsequent murder of the Gucci family patriarch.

Alessandra Gucci

Alessandra Gucci was born on 28 June 1976, in Milan, Italy. As the daughter of Maurizio Gucci, the former head of the Gucci fashion house, Alessandra has been involved in the fashion world since an early age, becoming a prominent figure in her own right.

She began working in the fashion industry in the 1990s, initially as a model and then as a designer. In 1999, she launched her own line of luxury handbags – AG Limited Editions. The original collection, called The First, comprised only 99 handbags made in nine different styles, which makes them valued and exclusive as collectors’ items. Her last collection was released in 2010.

In addition to her work as a fashion model and designer, Alessandra has also been involved in various philanthropic ventures. She’s an advocate for the arts in particular, and has supported a number of cultural initiatives over the years. She’s also been a strong proponent of environmental causes and has worked to raise awareness of issues such as climate change and animal extinction.

Following her father’s death, Alessandra moved to Switzerland, where she still lives with her husband and children. She has inherited a large portion of the Gucci estate, but hasn’t officially been involved with the brand in years.

Allegra Gucci

Allegra Gucci was born on 27 January 1981 in Milan. While her early life was marked by privilege and access to the world of high fashion, her own career and interests have taken her in a somewhat different direction.

Despite her ownership stake in the Gucci brand, Allegra has generally kept a low public profile, and has ‘ot been actively involved in the day-to-day operations of the company. Unlike her sister Alessandra, Allegra didn’t pursue fashion, and instead studied Law at Milan University.

Just like her father, Allegra also loves sailing, and has entered several competitions and regattas along with her sister. For them, it’s a way to honor Maurizio’s legacy. In an interview with the magazine “Boat International”, Allegra revealed some of the fondest memories from her childhood are with the family’s boat, Creole.

Allegra is married to the businessman Enrocio Barbieri, with whom she has two children. They exchanged vows in a private ceremony in Milan on 24 December 2011; the family resides in Switzerland.

In 2022, Allegra published a book entitled “Where, Game Over”, in which she covered the events surrounding her father’s death from her own perspective. Following the release, she gave an interview with the magazine “Vanity Fair“, criticizing the film “House of Gucci” for being largely untrue in depicting the supposedly real events.

Maurizio Gucci death

Both Alessandra’s and Allegra’s lives were considerably affected by the death of their father Maurizio. To this day, his murder remains one of the most sensational crimes in Italian history.

Maurizio was shot and killed on the steps of his office building in Milan on 27 March 1995, in what was initially believed to be a Mafia hit. The investigation ultimately revealed that Maurizio’s ex-wife, Patrizia Reggiani, was the one orchestrating the murder plot.

The two were married for 12 years, from 1972 through 1994. However, their relationship had already begun to deteriorate in the late 1980s, and they eventually separated in 1990. In 1992, Patrizia was diagnosed with a brain tumor, which was removed through invasive surgery, which according to Allegra, significantly changed Patrizia’s behavior. Maurizio himself accused her of being emotionally unstable, while she argued that he was neglectful and controlling.

Through the divorce, Patrizia received a substantial settlement from Maurizio, including a monthly allowance of over $1 million. She continued to live a lavish lifestyle, which included a staff of maids and drivers, multiple homes, and a stable of horses. After a while, she still found herself in significant debt which led her to seek help from a group of people who claimed that they had connections with the Italian Mafia.

One of these individuals was a man named Benedetto Ceraulo, who became one of the key figures in the murder plot. Ceraulo and his associates initially planned to kidnap Maurizio and demand a ransom, but they eventually decided to kill him instead. The murder was carried out by a hitman named Vittorio Emanuele Lauro, who shot Maurizio in the back three times as he entered his office building.

The investigation into the murder quickly led to Patrizia, who was suspected of being involved in the plot, and she was arrested in January 1997, along with several other individuals. During her trial, which became a media sensation, Patrizia emerged as a highly polarizing figure.

The court deduced that Patrizia had indeed played a significant role in her ex-husband’s death. She had reportedly been furious with Maurizio for cutting off her allowance, and had apparently given her approval to the hitmen to carry out the murder. However, her defense argued that she had been manipulated by Ceraulo and the other conspirators, who had taken advantage of her vulnerability and desire for revenge.

Ultimately, Patrizia was found guilty of arranging her ex-husband’s murder, and sentenced to 29 years in prison. She became known in the media as the ‘Black Widow’ and was a frequent subject of tabloid stories. She tried to commit suicide in prison in 2000 by hanging herself using bed sheets, but was found by prison guards. Her sentence was later reduced to 26 years on appeal, however, in 2016, she was eventually released after serving only 16 years.

Both Alessandra and Allegra seem to have a strained relationship with their mother. Although they visit her in prison for most of her sentence, their relationship took a turn for the worse in 2016, when Patrizia requested an annuity from the Gucci estate. They took Patrizia to court in an attempt to block her demands, but the court ruled in Patrizia’s favor. According to court documents, Patrizia benefits from close to $1.5million from Maurizio’s estate each year.

Gucci family inheritance

As the children of Maurizio Gucci, Alessandra and Allegra inherited practically all of their father’s fortune, estimated to be worth more than $400 million. As part of their inheritance, they have ownership of the family’s century-old yachts, along with a number of real estate properties in Italy and New York City. In 2015, the media reported that their 10,000 sq ft (930m²) penthouse located on Fifth Avenue in New York City was listed for sale for over $45 million.

In 2013, the Gucci sisters were accused of tax evasion by the Italian government, for allegedly failing to pay close to $5 million in taxes over the course of six years. The prosecutor, Gaetano Ruta believed that the tax evasion was carefully planned, but the charges were ultimately dropped due to a lack of evidence.

“House of Gucci”

The real-life story of the Gucci family sparked a lot of media controversy, and also inspired the biographical novel “The House of Gucci” by Sara Gay Forden, released in 2001. In the early 2000s, British film director Ridley Scott (known for movies such as “Alien” and “Blade Runner”) acquired the rights to the book with the intention of making a movie about the family of fashion magnates. However, the project was set aside for more than 15 years until production officially started the in summer of 2019.

“House of Gucci” premiered in London on 9 November 2021, with a star-studded cast including Adam Driver, Lady Gaga, Jared Leto and Al Pacino playing the lead roles. It was a moderate box-office success, grossing more than $154 million against the $75 million budget. The actors’ performances, particularly those by Gaga and Leto, received a lot of praise from the critics, although the film itself has mixed reviews.

In the months following the release, multiple members of the Gucci family voiced their dissatisfaction with the movie. In a 2021 interview, Patrizia Reggiani said that she was excited to see Gaga’s portrayal of her, however, after “House of Gucci” came out, stated that she was disappointed that the actress didn’t reach out to her at any point. In response, Gaga said that she had no interest in talking to Patrizia, and that her heart ‘goes out to her daughters’. Maurizio’s cousin, Patrizia Gucci, was disappointed in the lack of communication from the cast as well, while also claiming that the film is an invasion of their family privacy.

Celebrity Afro-Guyanese family member Monica Braithwaite was born under the zodiac sign Aries on 5 April 1969, in Guyana. She’s perhaps known best for being the mother of famous Barbadian singer and actress Robyn Rihanna Fenty.

Early life and education

Monica was raised in Guyana by her Afro-Guyanese parents Lionel and Clara Braithwaite; she prefers not to speak about her parents in public and thus not many details about them have been disclosed.

Monica studied at a local high school in Guyana, and had a tough childhood as she had to both study and work as her parents needed her to help them out financially; she matriculated in 1987 and married around the same time, thus not pursuing a career in any field but focusing on being a housewife and raising her children.

Monica’s career

Not many details have been disclosed about Monica’s career, but it’s widely known that she’s today working as an accountant.

Love life and marriage

It was not long after she completed her high school education that Monica exchanged vows with Barbadian warehouse supervisor Ronald Fenty; she gave birth to their daughter Robyn Rihanna Fenty on 20 February 1988 in Saint Michael, Barbados, and Robyn’s two brothers Rorrey and Rajad Fenty followed on 13 November 1989 and 15 April 1996, respectively. By marrying Ronald, Monica also became the stepmother of his three children Jaime, Samantha and Kandy.

The marriage wasn’t happy as Ronald was a crack cocaine addict and alcoholic, so in 2002 Monica left Ronald and took their children with her. She then helped her daughter succeed in the music industry by paying for her singing and dance lessons, while her son Rorrey went on to become a rapper known by the name ‘Gallest’.

We don’t know about other men whom Monica’s perhaps dated; she seems to be unattached as of March 2024, was married to Ronald Fenty, and has three children with him.

Max’s biological father is American music executive Jordan Bratman; Christina and Jordan married on 19 November 2005 and divorced in April 2011, following a year-long separation. Christina’s been engaged to Matthew since 2014 but it seems that the two have decided not to exchange vows.

Max is being kept away from the media’s attention, as Christina wants her son and daughter to lead normal lives; he’s currently attending a private high school in Los Angeles. It’s widely believed that Max has become interested in acting, and has begun taking lessons at a local school for the arts, however, this remains unconfirmed.

He’s set to matriculate in 2026, and most of his mother’s fans believe that he’ll then be pursuing a college degree.

Net worth, height and age

Max’s age is 16. He’s 5ft 6ins (1.68m) tall, weighs around 145lbs (65kgs), and his eyes and hair are brown.

Max has yet to establish independent wealth, but mother Christina’s net worth’s been estimated at more than $180 million, as of March 2024.

Who is his mother Christina?

Famous American singer-songwriter, TV personality and actress Christina Maria Aguilera was born under the zodiac sign Sagittarius on 18 December 1980, in New York City USA. She’s highly popular for her four-octave vocal range, as well as for her songs which are often about the LGBT culture, sexuality and feminism; her albums have sold nearly 100 million copies, and she’s widely regarded as a pop culture icon and one of the greatest vocalists of all-time.

Christina was raised in New York City alongside her four siblings, by their US Army sergeant father Fausto Wagner Xavier Aguilera and violinist mother Shelly Loraine (nee Fidler); Fausto was born in Ecuador and eventually emigrated to the USA, and Shelly’s of Dutch, Irish and German descent. Christina and her family often moved while she was growing up because of her father’s work, and lived in Texas, New Jersey and Japan; upon settling in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Christina enrolled at North Allegheny Intermediate High School, however, she had to leave and be homeschooled as she was bullied. Christina’s revealed that her father was physically and mentally abusive, and that she found comfort in music; her parents divorced in 1987: her mother married American non-celebrity James Kearns, and has a son with him.

At the age of eight, Christina joined the cast of the show “The Mickey Mouse Club”, in which she honed her skills alongside several fellow future superstars, including Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears and Ryan Gosling.

It wasn’t until the second half of the ‘90s that Christina’s career was truly launched, with the release of her self-titled debut album in 1999, which showcased her powerhouse vocals, and marked her arrival as a formidable force in the music industry. Hit songs such as “Genie in a Bottle”, “What a Girl Wants” and “Come On Over Baby (All I Want Is You)” dominated the charts, and catapulted Christina to international stardom; the album’s success earned her a Grammy Award for Best New Artist.

Following the huge success of her debut album, Christina released her second and third albums “Mi Reflejo” and “My Kind of Christmas” in 2000, and then continued to push the boundaries of her artistry with her fourth album “Stripped”, which came out in 2002. She underwent a transformative evolution with the album “Stripped”, both musically and personally, shedding her shy pop girl image in favor of a more mature and provocative sound; the album’s lead single “Dirrty” featured American rapper Redman, and shocked audiences with its bold and risqué music video, while the song “Beautiful” showcased Christina’s vulnerability and emotional depth. “Stripped” received widespread critical acclaim.

In 2006, Christina returned to her roots with her fifth studio album “Back to Basics”, inspired by the classic sounds of jazz, blues and soul, and the double-disc album showcased her versatility as an artist and her ability to seamlessly blend different musical genres. It spawned several hit songs, including “Ain’t No Other Man” and “Hurt”, both of which became huge hits and are still listened to today. “Back to Basics” debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 chart and solidified Christina’s status as one of the best vocalists of her generation.

Christina continued to explore new musical territories in the years that followed; her sixth studio album “Bionic” was released in 2010, and saw her experiment with electronic and futuristic sounds, collaborating with artists such as Nicki Minaj and M.I.A. Although the album received mixed reviews, it showcased Christina’s willingness to take risks and innovate within the pop music landscape.

She released her seventh studio album “Lotus” in 2012; it featured a more mainstream pop sound compared to “Bionic” and spawned hit songs “Your Body” and “Just a Fool”, featuring Blake Shelton. The album received mixed reviews, and wasn’t nearly as popular as its predecessors.

It took Christina six years to release her following album “Liberation”; it came out on 15 June 2018 and spawned hit songs “Like I Do”, “Fall in Line” and “Accelerate”, receiving mostly positive reviews. Her most recent (ninth) studio album “Aguilera” came out on 31 May 2022, and was nominated for eight Latin Grammy awards, winning Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album.

Throughout her career, Christina’s remained a constant presence in the music industry, continuously reinventing herself and pushing artistic boundaries; her vocals and fearless attitude have earned her numerous accolades, including a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, two Latin Grammies and five Grammies.

In addition to her musical achievements, Christina’s also made a significant impact as a coach in the reality singing competition show “The Voice”.
