Gianluca Vacchi's House

Gianluca Vacchi is an Italian 50-year-old millionaire. An article in the British GQ called him “the coolest man on Instagram”. This is his house, which he calls L’eremita.

Known for sharing photos of his luxurious lifestyle with his 11 million Instagram followers, the source of his inherited wealth is the IMA group, a company dealing with industrial packaging and pharmacy, in which hereportedly owns a stake of 30 %. Now the company is run by his cousins and is paying him a reported 5,000,000 euros a year.

Vacchi holds a degree in economics from Studiorum University in Bologna.

In 2011, he was sentenced to three and a half years in prison for his involvement in the crash of Parmalat, the famous Italian dairy company.

Vacchi also wrote a book, called #Enjoy, which describes his decision to abandon the family firm after 20 years working for it to focus on himself, and founded a designer-watch company, ToyWatch, which he later sold. At one time, he also served as the president of Last Minute Tours, a tourism company.

In August 2017, there were reports that his yachts, properties, and shares in a golf club were seized by a bank because of a 10,500,000-euro debt. After the news, numerous parody accounts on social networks sprang up, as well as a Facebook page called “Find Gianluca Vacchi a job”.

Satellite imagery of this property shows it has a football (soccer) court, a tennis court, a helipad, a pool, and you can clearly see Gianluca's famous yellow crocodile on top of a roof of one of the structures.
