How much is Giuseppe De’Longhi Worth? Giuseppe De’Longhi Net Worth in 2026
Giuseppe De’Longhi’s net worth is estimated at $5.5 billion as of November 2026. Three weeks before this update, the company that bears his name paid 662.5 million euros in cash to a related party, a vehicle we take to be his family’s, for a slice of its espresso machine business. The 87-year-old, who handed the chairmanship to his son in 2025, holds most of his fortune the plain way: 80,989,660 shares of De’Longhi, the Treviso appliance maker best known for its home espresso machines.

How much is Giuseppe De’Longhi worth in 2026?
We estimate $5.5 billion. Unlike most fortunes, about three quarters of this one has a daily price, because it sits in a listed company. The rest is cash from two sales, one in 2015 and one in October 2026. We convert euros at 1.1228 dollars, the rate on November 10, 2026.
How we got to $5.5 billion
| Source | Our estimate | What it rests on |
|---|---|---|
| De’Longhi shares | $4.17 billion | 80,989,660 shares, a 53.53 percent stake as of April 2026, at $51.52 a share in November 2026. The holding is listed under his name, though held through the family’s holding structure. |
| October 2026 coffee division sale | $0.74 billion | De’Longhi paid 662.5 million euros in cash to DLI Limited, a related party, for 26.46 percent of its professional coffee division. Our assumption: DLI is the family’s vehicle, since Chairman Fabio and vice chairman Silvia De’Longhi abstained from the board vote. Before any tax. |
| 2015 DeLclima sale | $0.57 billion | Mitsubishi Electric paid 508 million euros for the family holding’s 74.97 percent of DeLclima. Our assumption: the money stayed in the family holding as cash and investments. We found no record of how it was used. |
| Total | $5.5 billion | The rows add to $5.48 billion. |
The 662.5 million euro check
On October 16, 2026, De’Longhi raised its stake in the division that holds La Marzocco and Eversys from 61.56 percent to 88.02 percent, FoodBev reported. The seller was DLI Limited. The price valued the division at 2.36 billion euros including debt and 2.5 billion euros for the equity, based on its results for the 12 months to June 2026. De’Longhi paid from cash and new debt. Fabio and Silvia De’Longhi abstained from the board vote.
Our calculation: 26.46 percent of a 2.5 billion euro equity value is 661.5 million euros, within a million of the 662.5 million paid. If DLI is the family’s, as we assume, the family got full price, in cash, from a company it controls. It is also 30 percent more than the 508 million euros the DeLclima sale brought in eleven years earlier.
The deal finished a move that began in December 2023, when De’Longhi agreed to buy 41.2 percent of La Marzocco from its parent and minority shareholders for $374 million, Reuters reported. A trade publication puts the division’s value at $2.3 billion and says it produces about a quarter of group profit, per World Coffee Portal.
Selling the air conditioners
The other big cash event came in 2015. Mitsubishi Electric bought about 74.97 percent of DeLclima, the family’s heating and cooling business, at 4.5271 euros a share, 508 million euros in total, and closed on December 23, 2015, ACHR News reported. It then paid about 170 million euros for the rest in a tender offer.
Who holds the shares
The stake is listed under his name in MarketScreener’s insider record, dated April 2026. He no longer sits on the board: his son Fabio has been chairman and CEO since April 30, 2025, and his daughter Silvia is vice chairman, the company’s governance page shows. We credit the whole family stake to him because it is registered in his name. If part of it already belongs to his children, his own figure is lower.
Why other estimates disagree
Higher public estimates likely add decades of dividends and private investments that no filing we found shows. Lower ones are mostly older and predate the October 2026 cash.
What would move the figure
The De’Longhi share price moves about 75 percent of the total: a 10 percent change in the stock shifts our figure by roughly $420 million. Any sale of the remaining 12 percent of the coffee division would add more cash.
