Bernardo Caprotti Net Worth

The company has since continued to spread in northern Italy and it said to generate revenues of $9.2 billion (6.8 billion euros) in total. A long-time businessman, Bernardo Caprotti even penned a book in 2007 in which he complained about corruption between rival Coop Italia and local politicians. Subsequently, he had to pay a fine of $400,000 (300,000 euros) for the statements in the book. In 2005, he gave 92% of his stake in Esselunga to his two children, leaving just 8% for himself. However, he had a change of heart six years later and took back the 92% stake. Even though his children sued, he won. The old man often writes snarky letters to editors after being criticized in the Italian media.
