Prada is controlled by the Prada family , mainly through Miuccia Prada and her husband Patrizio Bertelli, who together hold a majority stake in the Prada Group via their family holding companies, while the rest of the shares are publicly traded.

Core ownership today

  • Prada S.p.A. is a listed luxury group (traded in Hong Kong), but it is still effectively a family-controlled business.
  • The largest bloc of shares is held by entities linked to Miuccia Prada and Patrizio Bertelli, giving them control over strategy and appointments.

Key people behind Prada

  • Miuccia Prada is the long‑time creative force of the brand and a major shareholder; she is the granddaughter of founder Mario Prada.
  • Patrizio Bertelli , her husband, is Group chair and a leading shareholder, overseeing the business side and long‑term expansion.

Public shareholders and market role

  • Beyond the family holding, a significant minority of shares is held by institutional and retail investors via the stock market, so Prada also answers to public shareholders and market regulations.
  • This mixed structure allows Prada to stay family‑led while still raising capital and expanding globally as a modern luxury group.
