Giovanni Ferrero (Italian pronunciation: [dʒoˈvanniferˈrɛːro] ; born 21 September 1964) is an Italian writer and businessman. He assumed the leadership of the confectionery company Ferrero SpA after the death of his brother Pietro Ferrero in 2011. His personal fortune is estimated at 43ドル.8 billion in 2024 according to Forbes, making him the 26th richest in the world, and richest person in Italy.[1] [2]
