Mossimo Giannulli is an American fashion designer and convicted felon who has a net worth of $80 million. That is a combined net worth with his wife/criminal conspirator, Lori Loughlin. It should be noted that in October 2025, a spokesperson for the couple confirmed that they had separated and were "taking a break from their marriage." The same spokesperson also said that, at that point, no legal proceedings (AKA divorce) were underway.

Mossimo Giannulli founded the clothing company Mossimo. He initially pursued studies in architecture and business at the University of Southern California but left after three years to focus on his fashion endeavors. In 1986, Giannulli established Mossimo on Balboa Island in Newport Beach, California. The brand quickly gained popularity, grossing $1 million in its first year and $4 million the following year. Initially focusing on beachwear and activewear, Mossimo expanded in 1991 to include sweaters and knits, and by 1995, the line featured women's clothing and men's tailored suits.

Giannulli married actress Lori Loughlin in 1997, and they have two daughters, Isabella Rose and Olivia Jade, and a son named Gianni. In 2019, Giannulli and Loughlin were implicated in a college admissions bribery scandal, accused of paying $500,000 to falsely designate their daughters as recruits to the University of Southern California's rowing team. Giannulli was sentenced to five months in prison, a $250,000 fine, and 250 hours of community service. He ultimately served a little over four months, entering prison on November 19, 2020, and walking out on April 2, 2021.

Mossimo Giannulli Net Worth Milestones

Mossimo Giannulli was born to an Italian family in Los Angeles on June 4, 1963. His birth name was actually spelled "Massimo." He changed the spelling and pronunciation to "Mossimo" in first grade after a teacher suggested it would be easier to pronounce. He was raised in Encino, California.

In 1996, Mossimo went public, but after an unsuccessful attempt to transition into high fashion, the brand's stock value declined. In response, Giannulli repositioned the brand and, in 2000, entered into a licensing agreement with Target stores, making Mossimo products widely accessible. In 2006, he sold the company to Iconix Brand Group.

He dropped out to focus full-time on the clothing line he had founded, "Mossimo," a year earlier on Balboa Island in Newport Beach, California. He founded the surf/lifestyle clothing brand with $100,000 borrowed from his father. During the first year of operation, Mossimo, the brand, generated $1 million in revenue. The following year, it earned $4 million.

In summary, the total wealth of Mossimo Giannulli reflects strategic moves.
