Diego Della Valle is an Italian billionaire businessman, luxury goods entrepreneur, investor, and chairman of Tod’s Group. Born on December 30, 1953, he is best known for transforming his family’s shoemaking business into an international luxury fashion group.
Della Valle is married to Barbare, and the couple have two sons, Filippo et Emanuele. He comes from a family of shoemakers: his grandfather, Filippo Della Valle, started a small shoemaking business in the Marche region of Italy in the 1920s. Diego later expanded the family company into a global name known for Italian craftsmanship, luxury leather goods, and understated elegance.
Tod's is one of Italy’s most famous luxury brands, best known for handmade shoes, leather bags, accessories, and its iconic driving shoes. The company became a symbol of quiet luxury, Italian craftsmanship, and high-quality materials.
Under Diego Della Valle’s leadership, the family business expanded beyond shoes into a full luxury group. Tod’s Group includes Tod's, Hogan, Fay, et Roger Vivier. These brands cover luxury footwear, leather goods, ready-to-wear fashion, outerwear, and accessories.
Della Valle’s strategy focused on craftsmanship, heritage, and a strong “Made in Italy” identity. Rather than chasing fast fashion, Tod’s built its reputation on timeless design, quality production, and premium positioning.
In 2024, Tod’s Group was taken private after a deal involving the Della Valle family, L Catterton, and LVMH. The transaction ended Tod’s listing on the Milan Stock Exchange and gave the company more flexibility to invest in its brands away from the pressure of quarterly public-market reporting.
Under the deal, the Della Valle family retained majority control of the company, L Catterton held 36%, and LVMH, through its Delphine subsidiary, held 10%. L Catterton is a private equity firm backed by LVMH, making the transaction an important development in the relationship between Tod’s and the French luxury group.
Diego Della Valle said at the time that there were no plans to sell Tod’s and that the business would remain a family-controlled company. The delisting was designed to support long-term brand investment, international growth, and a clearer strategy for the group’s different labels.
Par l'intermédiaire de sa société d'investissement Dorint Holding SA and other vehicles, Della Valle has held stakes in several well-known Italian and international businesses.
His investments have included RCS MediaGroup, Piaggio, et Médiobanque. He has also been associated with Saks Cinquième Avenue, the American luxury department store.
Della Valle has served on the boards of major companies and institutions, including luxury, banking, media, and automotive businesses. His connections have included Ferrari, Maserati, Banca Nazionale del Lavoro, and LVMH.
Diego Della Valle and his brother Andrea Della Valle were long associated with ACF Fiorentina, the historic Italian football club based in Florence, Tuscany.
The Della Valle family acquired Fiorentina in the early 2000s and helped rebuild the club after financial difficulties. During their ownership, Fiorentina returned to Serie A and again became a competitive force in Italian football.
In June 2019, the Della Valle family sold ACF Fiorentina to Italian-American billionaire Rocco Commisso, ending roughly 17 years of ownership. The sale marked the end of an important chapter in the Della Valle family’s public profile outside fashion.
Diego Della Valle’s valeur nette is generally estimated at around $1.4 billion to $1.5 billion. His wealth comes mainly from Tod’s Group, family holdings, investments, real estate, and other private assets.
His net worth has changed over time with Tod’s valuation, the luxury goods market, the 2024 delisting transaction, and broader investment performance. Because Tod’s is now private, future estimates will depend more heavily on private valuations rather than public stock-market pricing.
Diego Della Valle is linked to the luxury yacht Altaïr. The current Altair is a 72.6-meter Lürssen motor yacht built in Germany in 2004. She was previously known as Queen K and, before that, Reine M.
Altair was designed by Espen Øino, with interior design by Donald Starkey. The yacht has a steel hull, aluminium superstructure, large interior volume, guest elevator, sundeck Jacuzzi, and long-range cruising capability.
The yacht can accommodate up to 18 guests and around 21 équipage, depending on configuration. With her classic Lürssen build quality and elegant exterior profile, Altair is one of the notable large motor yachts connected to an Italian luxury goods billionaire.
Diego Della Valle has been involved in cultural and heritage projects in Italy. One of his most famous philanthropic commitments was Tod’s support for the restoration of the Colosseum in Rome.
The project reflected Della Valle’s belief in preserving Italian history and promoting Italian excellence. It also aligned with Tod’s brand identity, which is built around craftsmanship, heritage, and national pride.
Diego Della Valle is known for keeping his private life relatively discreet. He is married to Barbare, and they have two sons, Filippo et Emanuele.
Son frère, Andrea Della Valle, has also played an important role in the family business and in the family’s former ownership of Fiorentina. The next generation of the Della Valle family is increasingly connected to the future of the Tod’s business.
Diego Della Valle is one of Italy’s most respected luxury entrepreneurs. From a family shoemaking workshop, he built Tod’s Group into a global luxury company known for Tod’s, Hogan, Fay, and Roger Vivier.
His business career includes fashion, media, banking, automotive investments, football, philanthropy, and luxury assets. With Tod’s now private following the 2024 delisting deal involving L Catterton and LVMH, Della Valle remains at the center of one of Italy’s most important family-controlled luxury groups.
