Michele Ferrero, the world's richest candy maker whose family created Nutella and Ferrero Rocher chocolates, has died. He was 89.

Italian President Sergio Mattarella praised Ferrero as one of the protagonists of Italian industry, "always ahead of his time thanks to innovative products and his tenacious and reserved work."

Ferrero was the patriarch of the eponymous family empire. His father Pietro started making Nutella when cocoa was still rationed during World War II. According to Forbes, the family is worth $23.4 billion.
