Category: Entrepreneurs

Company: Capponi Group Corp.

Industry: Real Estate/Nightlife

What Made Him Haute: Michael Capponi made a name for himself in the real estate industry by building reputable businesses like Capponi Group Luxury Properties, Capponi Building Co. and Capponi Casa, but it was his undertaking of the nightlife scene that put him on the map. Between refurbishing Miami Executive Airport and renovating major homes in the Miami area, as well as his entrepreneurial and philanthropic talents; it’s astonishing he finds time to contribute back to those in need.

What Makes Him Haute Now: Today Capponi along with Jeff Feldman produced Le Premiere Edition of Haiti Art Expo 2010. This one-of-a-kind exhibit will showcase some of Haiti’s most talented artists. It’s a rare opportunity to witness collections of art that never before have been showcased outside of the small island. One hundred percent of the proceeds will go to the refugees and artists that lost their homes in the January 2010 earthquake.
