Rich people face many challenges, although from the outside it may seem that they should not have problems. Take, for example, Allegra Versace, who at the age of eleven became the heiress of the fashion house "Versace" after the death of her uncle Gianni Versace.
Of course, at first, the fashion corporation was run by the girl's mother, Donatella Versace, because a child with such a load would clearly not have been able to cope. However, Allegra always understood that one day she would have to manage the holding.
Biography
Allegra was born in Milan in 1986. Her mother is the sister of the famous Gianni Versace, her father Paul Beck worked as a fashion model. Their family still has a son, whose name is Daniel.
As a child, Allegra spent a lot of time with Uncle Gianni: he undertook to bring up exquisite taste in the girl. Therefore, uncle and niece often went to museums, studied architecture and sculpture. The girl also had personal teachers who introduced her to the world of art.
After high school, Allegra went to study at the University of California, where she studied art history. In parallel, the girl played in a small theater and showed good success. She even planned to link her fate with the stage, but her uncle decided differently: he said that he trusted her with his brainchild - his House.
And the girl had no choice but to come to terms with the inevitable. She slowly delved into business, studied the world of fashion, but one day a terrible tragedy happened: Gianni Versace was shot.
The whole family was very worried about this tragedy. In addition, worries about the fashion house fell on their shoulders. At first, Donatella was in charge of the affairs, and in 2004 Allegra fully came into its own.
And, as journalists write, she began to actively hang out with various celebrities.
At the head of "Versace"
Now she owns 50% of the company's assets, and the rest is divided between two of Gianni's nephews. No one knows how hard it is to run such a huge holding at such a young age, but Allegra is doing it.
True, her mother is always next to her - she supports, helps, prompts. It is she who represents the House of Versace when communicating with journalists and at social events, protecting her daughter from unnecessary stress.
Allegra, meanwhile, is engaged in practical matters and does not want to become a media person. She even calls herself Allegra Beck - by the name of her father, not wanting to enjoy the fame of her uncle.
One of the saddest pages in the biography of the current head of the fashion house was the disease - anorexia. Over the years, Allegra has struggled with this ailment. She was in different clinics, and sometimes she had to be fed through a tube, because she herself could not eat.
The girl's weight was so small that doctors began to fear for her life. However, little by little, Allegra began to recover, and now we can say that the disease is almost defeated. She looks like a perfectly healthy person.
Personal life
Allegra is so busy with her business that she simply does not have enough time for her personal life. She is constantly on the move from Milan to New York on business trips.
It is logical that her fortune of several hundred million dollars could attract the most enviable suitors, but not a single young man was seen near the girl.
Journalists say that Allegra retains the image of "mystery" that has always been characteristic of the Versace family.
