Biography
Guido Barilla is the chairman of Barilla, and the fourth-generation heir to the pasta fortune that he shares with his three billionaire siblings.
Barilla is the largest pasta company in the world with an estimated $4 billion in annual revenue.
Barilla has grown by acquiring companies in France, Turkey and Greece; it also has two pasta plants in the U.S.
The business was founded in 1877 in Parma, Italy.
The family sold out to American firm W.R. Grace in 1971 but Pietro Barilla, Guido's father, bought it back eight years later.
