Vacchi was born in Bologna 54 years ago.
How is a normal day for Gianluca Vacchi – the influencer with 50 million followers on social networks, whom many know by the nickname The Dancing Millionaire, or Mister Enjoy?
“I wake up at 5 o’clock in the morning and lock myself in the hyperbaric chamber for oxygen therapy, where I sleep for another two hours. I get up, do an hour of gymnastics, then sit for 20 minutes in a bath with ice at zero temperature. It replaced cryotherapy because it creates a moderate cold. I sit with my arms crossed. This is how the man, about whom many do not know what exactly earns his millions, tells his daily life in front of the Corriere della Sera newspaper. Very few people know why it is actually so popular on social media around the world. Or as they say about some – both about him and the Kardashian sisters:
“He is famous for that he is famous ”
Gianluca Vacchi is 54 years old and from Bologna. He was born into a wealthy family whose company is an international leader in the production of packaging machines for pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and food products.
Although Vaki is graduating in economics, he prefers to take up new ventures and leave the family business. “I moved away from the family company because I can’t work as a manager. I could stay in it, sitting in a comfortable chair and receiving fat dividends as a shareholder. I won this right on my own, going into debt at the age of 24, but I bought the shares from my relatives with my own funds. ” Vaki starts to create company after company, but always does so in order to delegate the work to other people. He fills his time with entertainment and lives the way he wants. Today
Vaki’s wealth is 100 times larger of what his leaves his father
Vaki also recently has a telephone company and a doner chain.
Surely most of the social media addicts have seen the funny videos of the DJ entrepreneur in TikTok, where he is followed by over 21.5 million fans. Vaki keeps posting pictures of his daily life, which is like an endless song and entertainment – from his many houses to his yachts. Gianluca is also the protagonist of the documentary film broadcast on the Prime Video platform – Mucho Mas, which will be distributed in 240 countries around the world.
Vaki lives in one part of the year in Bologna, in the other – in Miami. He shares his days with 26-year-old Venezuelan Sharon Fonseca, a model and actress who gave birth to his daughter Blue Jerusalem (as the name of the popular hit). He and Vaki met in 2018 during the filming of a music video.
Before meeting her, Vaki does not assume that he can have a family of his own. He falls in love with her when he sees her for the first time.
“Before, I was like Peter Pan, I lived, enjoying of pleasures of life,
but without having a constructive vision for the future. ”
Gianluca is currently building a 1,200-square-meter megaville in Sardinia, which will be named after his daughter, Blue Jerusalem. The residence will have an additional 1000 square meters of terraces, playgrounds for paddles (a popular sport considered a combination of tennis and squash), as well as a disco. His work on them costs 15m euros. This residence will be added to its rich collection of other houses. In Miami, where the millionaire lives six months a year, he has another 1,200-square-foot villa called BJV, short for Blue Jerusalem Waki. He bought it during the pandemic.
Vacchi also has a 2,200-square-meter house in Bologna, which makes his other residences look like cottages. His Bologna kingdom is something like an amusement park, like a tourist village, like the house of a child who does not want to grow up. It has a palace of sports, a spa, which even the most luxurious hotel could envy, a disco, a helicopter track.
Apart from all this, however, Vaki has equipped his house with the so-called zip line. What is it? This is the rope that connects two very tall trees located 350 meters away. Starting from the taller tree in the direction of the lower one, the person tied to the “zipper” has fun. Vaki has another “toy”. Recently
brought sand from the desert and her made his own safari area,
in which his guests feel like in Kenya. “When a friend of mine comes to visit, it must be a magical moment for him and he wants to come back,” Vaki told Corriere della Sera.
The paradox is that although today the millionaire DJ is the king of social networks, in the past he forbade his friends to use the phones during dinner. “In 2013, however, I saw how some people became models, and I realized that social networks would become the new means of communication for the masses and for the individual. So I thought that by showing my life, I could serve as an inspiration for someone. I thought I wasn’t for the job, but you should never say, “Knowing myself, I know it’s not for me.” That’s what happened with TikTok. “
He joined this social network on the advice of his wife Sharon. At first, however, Vaki gets angry when she tells him that everyone is there, and he replies that it is only for teenagers. Vaki even throws his phone over a candlestick and lights it. Then, however, he registered with TikTok and two years later had 21.5 million followers.
Gianluca does everything himself on social media, because otherwise it would not be entertainment. His hardest
video is with a motorcycle “Vespa” under water
For half an hour he struggles to hit the right angle from which to shoot, so as not to be seen tied to a fishing line.
Gianluca has had a strong sense of competition since he was a child, he doesn’t like to be second. “Racing is my disease,” he says. As a child he was a ski champion, and he beat Alberto Tomba, who is also from Bologna. His parents did not give him to kindergarten so as not to be abducted – at that time was the period of abductions of wealthy families in Italy.
Little Gianluca grew up under the discipline imposed on him at the time by his father. He imposes it on himself in sports.
Vaki also became famous in Italy for causing a real craze for cryotherapy, which he practices in his house with an ice bath. He stays in it at a negative temperature for three minutes. “The first time I was in the bath for 18 minutes, the next day I stopped shivering.
The cold leads to impressive rejuvenation ”
According to Vaki, good physical functioning improves the quality of life and heals the psyche.
Vaki has several dark periods in his life and one of them is the 18-year trial, after which he was acquitted for selling last minute trips (at the last minute) to the one-time owner of “Parmalat” Calisto Tantsi for 29 million. euros. The magistrates think that it is a matter of harming the company’s shareholders, without realizing in time about the huge potential of these trips online.
Recently, a former maid in one of Vaki’s houses asked him for 70,000 euros for unpaid overtime. She complained to the media that she was forced to dance under command for his TikTok videos and that she was stressed by his outbursts of anger at throwing phones and lights used for the photos.
Two other workers from his house in Sardinia said they worked illegally. However, Vaki filed lawsuits against them for false allegations and damage to his image.
