Andrew Cunanan murdered Versace when the flamboyant fashion star was just 50, but he led an action-packed life until the very end.
Though he had a live-in lover, personal trainer Antonio D’Amico, the billionaire was famous on Miami’s South Beach for his appetite for younger men, who he would often pick up on the beach across the street from his lavish home.
According to one friend of the late designer, “Gianni was always on the prowl for new boys,” who he often offered to make models, dazzled with lavish presents or impressed with his endless supply of expensive cars and clothing. “Many just partied and then faded away.”
Versace was widely known to partake in party favors, including copious amounts of cocaine, which he liked to get from sketchy dealers since he “got a thrill out of” scoring the drug, said an insider.

Everyone from Princess Diana, Madonna and Elton John to Sylvester Stallone and Claudia Schiffer were known to attend the fabulous festivities.

Versace always treated his hard-partying groupies. “There would be Dom Perignon champagne, pounds of Beluga caviar flown in from Petrossian in New York, pate de foie gras and truffles jetted in from France,” a friend of Versace once noted.
Sadly, Versace’s wild ways came to an abrupt stop after Cunanan gunned him down on the morning of July 15, 1997, in front of his Miami mansion, the scene of so many of the designer’s wildest nights.
