Luciano Benetton was born on 13 May 1935 in Treviso, Italy. Following the death of his father, he left school at 14 and began working in a clothing shop.

In May 2015, Forbes estimated the net worth of Luciano Benetton and each of his three siblings at US$2.9 billion.
His business practices have come under attack: "His business world wide has been taking lands from natives, with the complicity of local governments. In his hands lies gallons of innocent blood."
