Ana Grepo (5 March 1975 – 10 November 2011)[1] was a Croatian businesswoman and former model from Split, Croatia. In 1995, she was crowned "Miss Dalmatia" at the regional beauty pageant in Split. In the last years of her life, she resided in Zagreb, where she was an operating manager of her own modeling agency. She was one of the main figures for gathering young prospective models for the entire area of southeastern Europe and former Yugoslavia.[2]
She has previously been noted in a variety of business magazines as one of the most successful business-oriented women in Croatia; her fortune has been estimated to be around 50 million euros.[citation needed]
Biography
Early life
Her father, Petar, was a fisherman and her mother, Andja, was a housewife. While still in high school, Grepo was drafted by the Midiken modeling agency from Zagreb. Finishing her last high school year in Zagreb, Grepo had already become one of the most wanted young models in Croatia.
Modelling career
In late 1995, Grepo moved to Milan and worked for different modeling agencies. In the nine-year period between 1996 and 2005, Grepo worked in various fashion capitals of the world, including Madrid, Paris, London, New York and Tokyo. In late 2000, while engaging herself as a full-time model, she started forming her own modelling agency, which she based in Zagreb, Croatia.[3]
Post modelling career and personal life
Having dual Croatian and Italian citizenship, Ana relocated to Milan in 1995. Over the next decade, she kept busy in such major cities as London, New York, Tokyo, and Paris. She was briefly married to businessman Dragan Jurilj. During this time, she utilized business connections and began to accumulate great wealth and business notoriety by starting her own Zagreb-based modeling agency in 2000. Afterwards, she acquired a soccer team and built a luxury casino.
In 2002, she purchased property on the Croatian shore near Dubrovnik and the Croatian government granted her rights to build a five-star casino resort on the Brioni Islands. In the summer of 2006, she entered a purchasing bid for a major Croatian basketball team in Cibona, Zagreb; she eventually withdrew the offer, however. Grepo was both a Croatian and Italian citizen, and this status of dual citizenship enabled her entry into the Italian business market. In early 2007, she bought a share of the Italian soccer club A.C. Chievo from Verona, Italy. In March 2007, she reportedly paid 4.5 million euros for a 16th-century Italian traditional mansion in Verona, Italy.
Death
Ana Grepo died of carbon monoxide poisoning while at her apartment in Osijek.[4] This was deemed an accidental death.
