Allegra Versace Beck (Italian pronunciation: [ˈale:ɡra ver.saːtʃe ˌbɛ:k]; born 30th June 1986), commonly known as Allegra Versace, is an Italian heiress and socialite. Since 2011 Allegra has been a director of Gianni Versace S.p.A. and has worked in New York City as a theatrical dresser.
Versace is the daughter of Italian fashion designer Donatella Versace and American ex-fashion model Paul Beck. She was raised outside Milan, Italy, with her younger brother Daniel, and was described as a "serious, sensible and bright" child, "with her hair in pigtails and her nose in a history book".Sir Elton John, whom she adored and called "uncle", gave her his first piano.
The favored niece of designer Gianni Versace, she was eleven years old when he was fatally shot outside of his Miami mansion in July 1997. Her mother immediately sought counseling for her. On her 18th birthday, she received 50% ownership of Gianni Versace S.p.A.. Allegra's uncle Santo Versace already owned 30% of the fashion empire, and her mother already owned 20%, but due to a long-standing disagreement between the two, the remaining 50% of the Versace empire was willed by Gianni to Allegra. Allegra instantly became worth hundreds of millions of dollars, and now has an estimated net worth of US$800 million.
Versace attended The British School of Milan, then known as "The Sir James Henderson School", and Brown University in Rhode Island. In 2006, she enrolled at UCLA, where she studied French, art history, and theatre.
