Her mother Marina Di Guardo is an Italian writer from Sicily who also worked as deputy director of the Blumarine fashion house.

[10] In December 2011, she was profiled as the Blogger of the Moment in Teen Vogue, while a law student at Bocconi University.

[19] In January 2015, her blog and shoe line, Chiara Ferragni Collection, became a case study at Harvard Business School.

[29] In June 2020, the Italian rapper Baby K released the summer hit "Non mi basta più" featuring Chiara Ferragni.

Ferragni and her husband raised €3 million in 24 hours through a fundraiser to support the San Raffaele Hospital in Milan during the COVID-19 pandemic in Italy.

[35] On 29 January 2025, shortly after the news of the trial for aggravated fraud, Ferragni publicly vented against her ex-husband, accusing him of having always been a false and untruthful person towards her.

[36] In December 2023, the Italian Competition Authority (Italian: Autorità Garante della Concorrenza e del Mercato (AGCM)) announced Ferragni and companies under her control must pay a fine of 1.075 million euros following a probe into unfair and misleading commercial practices.

[38] Fabio Maria Damato was held responsible for the communication and management failure in the legal dispute called pandoro-gate by the media, and partly also for Ferragni's marital and financial failure, a reason for conflict and friction with her ex-husband because Fedez couldn't stand him at work and proximity, and was terminated on June 13, 2024, effective June 16, 2024.

[39][40][41] Ferragni has suffered significant financial losses and very serious damage to her image which have undermined her credibility as a public figure and influencer and for this reason many brands have given up and closed collaboration contracts.
