Paolo Gucci was the grandson of Guccio Gucci, the founder of the luxury fashion house. Paolo had a rather short stint at Gucci—in 1953, he served as the vice president and managing director. But just a year later, his uncle Rodolfo Gucci fired him after he failed to carry out his duties when he was managing a factory in Florence.

After his departure from the family company, Paolo went on to launch a brand under his own name where, according to The Fashion Law, he was "designing lamps, sunglasses, furniture, sleepwear, bedding accessories and fabrics, wall coverings, ladies' underwear, lingerie, plates and flatware.”

Paolo's new venture didn't quite go as planned. He reportedly spent upwards of $8 million in the fight to use his own name for his new brand. And according to The New York Times, in 1982 Paolo made assault charges against his two brothers, Roberto and Giorgio, as well as his cousin, Maurizio. Paolo filed a $13 million lawsuit against the three and his father, Aldo. Not long after, Paolo gave crucial information that led to his father's arrest in 1986 for evading American taxes.

Following a trademark fight with his family, in 1987 Paolo was granted the right to use his name under his line. But, not long after he won the battle, Paolo sold his interest in the company for a whopping $45 million. Then, in 1993, the businessman declared bankruptcy, claiming debts of $90 million.

Paolo died in 1995 at age 64 from chronic hepatitis.
