M arina Caprotti is an Italian heiress who, along with her mother Giuliana Albera, inherited a controlling stake in Esselunga, one of Italy's largest and most profitable supermarket chains. She is the daughter of the company's late, legendary, and often controversial founder, Bernardo Caprotti. He established Esselunga in 1957, opening Italy's first-ever supermarket, and built it into a retail giant known for its quality, efficiency, and powerful brand loyalty, particularly in Northern Italy.

After her father's death in 2016, a contentious family dispute over the inheritance was settled, leaving Marina and her mother with control of the privately held company. Marina has since taken on an active leadership role, serving as the company's executive president. She is responsible for guiding the iconic family business, navigating the competitive retail landscape, and overseeing its expansion plans. Her wealth is tied to her ownership of this highly valuable and iconic Italian retail enterprise.
