Have you heard about the family drama dividing the Bulgari fashion empire? It’s an insane legal fight between two sisters, which has engulfed at least a half dozen top law firms and huge Wall Street players. Naturally, the feared litigator David Boies is involved. And now, of course, there’s a secret marriage twist.
Back in 2020, Ilaria Bulgari learned that she was the beneficiary of two trusts that had been established during her parents’ long-ago divorce. The trusts contained substantial assets, which shouldn’t be surprising given the incredible success of the nearly 150-year-old luxury brand. (In 2011, the Bulgari family sold a controlling stake of its company to LVMH in an all-stock deal worth more than $5 billion.) But Ilaria, despite receiving $40 million after her mother died, began to suspect her older sister, Veronica Bulgari, of cheating her.
