I want to make profits: I am a capitalist. I want to do it ethically and morally, but I want to make profits. The question is, how do we share the profits?

About Me

The "king of cashmere," designer Brunello Cucinelli dropped out of engineering school and used a $550 loan to launch a fashion line in 1978. Inspired by brightly colored wool sweaters, he set out to create a similar garment in cashmere. Today his eponymous luxury brand is best known for those cashmere sweaters, but also sells dresses, suits, shoes, handbags and accessories. Cucinelli took the $1.6 billion (2025 revenues) company public in 2012, listing its shares on the Italian stock exchange. Since 1985 he has operated Brunello Cucinelli SpA from his headquarters in Solomeo, a medieval Italian hamlet that he has renovated for his employees.
