Who is Lucy Clarkson? Where the Gunther’s Millions PR is now
Documentary fans were treated to one of the craziest series to grace the Netflix collection when Gunther’s Millions landed on the platform – a four-part series exploring the story behind the world’s richest dog.
According to his eccentric caretaker Maurizio Mian, Gunther inherited $400 million from his owner Countess Karlotta Leibenstein upon her death in 1992 through a trust set up to give the German shepherd a life of luxury.
While the documentary examines whether the story is real and details the events surrounding the Gunther Trust, including a pop group and the purchase of boats, football clubs and Madonna’s house.
However, someone who contributes to Gunther’s Millions and helps tell the story is Lucy Clarkson – the former PR director for the trust with an interesting background.
Here’s everything you need to know about Gunther’s Millions’ Lucy Clarkson.
Who is Lucy Clarkson?
Lucy Clarkson is a model and former public relations director of The Gunther Trust.
In an interview with Women Fitness, Clarkson said she was the trust’s public relations director “a few years ago.”
“Having a dog as a boss was quite an experience! Based on my experience on television, the director of the series thought it would be ideal for me to also help tell the story on camera. To have the show on Netflix is a huge achievement and I’m honored to be a part of it.”
Originally from Rotherham, Clarkson grew up in South Yorkshire and in 2000 at the age of 17 became the model for Lara Croft in the video game series Tomb Raider – a position she held for two and a half years.
As a model, Clarkson has appeared in Sports Illustrated, FHM, Marie Claire and for ad campaigns with Vivienne Westwood, Diesel, Chanel, PlayStation, Wrigleys and other brands. She was also named “The World’s Sexiest Woman” by Loaded and has appeared as a presenter on the Health and Wellness Channel.
In 2015 Clarkson released her first single “Royalty” with rapper Fat Joe.
Where is Lucy Clarkson now?
The model recently appeared on the Netflix documentary Gunther’s Millions and spoke about her experience as the dog’s PR director.
In an Instagram story on February 2, Clarkson said, “Being the head of PR for Gunther has been such a unique experience for me.
“There’s so much more to come from the Gunther Trust and me and Lee and everyone else and especially Maurizio and Carla.”
According to the Daily Star, she now lives in Miami and is a single mother to her son Hudson, having previously been married to financier Michael Parners and entrepreneur Ronald DeMeo.
As for what she hopes to do this year, Clarkson told Women’s Fitness that she wants to step up in her career as a TV presenter.
“I will continue to strive to be the best version of myself I can be. I want to travel more and visit places I’ve always wanted to see,” she said. “My main goal is to develop further in my career as a TV presenter. I am passionate about it and believe I have a real talent for it.”
