In 2014 the value of his assets were estimated at 520,000,000 Euros. Lorenzetti is owner and president of the French Top 14 rugby franchise Racing 92. In 1972 he set up set up his estate agency, Foncia, and is now estimated to own over 1,000,000 properties.
He floated Foncia on the French stock exchange in 2001 and when he decided to get into rugby five years later it was estimated that his fortune was somewhere in the region of €700 million.
He realised his dream a year ahead of schedule but his tenure was not without its disappointments. Racing only managed to finish 11th in the Pro D2 in 2007 and they missed out on promotion to the top flight the following season after a shock play-off final defeat to Mont-de-Marsan.
However, in the 2008-2009 season they and finished a staggering 30 points clear of second-placed Agen. Lorenzetti continued to pump money into the side and managed to persuade Springboks Francois Steyn and Jacques Cronje and French internationals Lionel Nallet and Sebastien Chabal to make the move to Colombes.
