  1. The article claims he grew up in an orphanage, but his wikipedia entry states be was born to impoverished parents, not that one excludes the other however.

    Either way, starting from that, while growing up in times of fascism and war, and going all the way to become one of wealthiest men on the planet with a well recognized brand? Now that deserves some respect.

  2. Ah the guy who’s company made meh low quality cheap glasses for huge prices. The whole “made by brand name” industry was basically owned by him and it became a scam more or less.

    NEVER BUY Luxottica made glasses, you will get glasses that are usually worse then what you can buy at the supermarket for 10 euros.(not even joking, my fraind is still pissed of that my glasses are better)
