She could be dating someone or could still be single. However, what is certain is that she hasn't married anyone yet.

On the other hand, Olivia attends a lot of weddings with her friends and family, but she herself doesn't have a husband. She also has been ignoring many fans who have an interest in her relationship. This might indicate that she is currently not pursuing anyone.

Olivia Bastianich's Net Worth

Since Olivia is just at the starting stage of her career, she doesn't have a sizable net worth yet. But considering the average salary of a coordinator is $74 thousand per year, she should have assets of around a hundred thousand dollars. It's enough for her to live her own life independently.

On the other hand, Joe Bastianich has a whopping net worth of $15 million. Considering that he co-owns thirty restaurants, it's not that surprising. 

Graduated With BA In Communication

Moving to her education, Olivia was admitted to Greenwich Academy in 2004 and finished high school in 2016 at the same academy. After graduating from high school, she chose to study Bachelor of Arts at Boston College.

In addition to that, she studied at Boston College for four years. And in 2020, Olivia got her Bachelor of Arts degree in communication.

Is The Eldest Child In The Family

She has never been on a TV show together with her father. This shows that she is avoiding being in the media's attention. She is very close to her grandmother Lidia.

Since 2017, after completing high school, Olivia has involved herself in many professions. According to her Linkedin page, she was an intern at IMG Models for three months, from June to August 2017. Then for the same amount of time, she became a Marketing Intern at B&B Hospitality group. 

Similarly, Olivia was a Wholesale/Marketing Intern at Golden Goose in 2019 for three months. As of now she has been a coordinator at Coatue Management since January 2021.

Even though Olivia doesn't have to worry about not having financial support, she has always tried to escape from her father's fame and become independent. She is trying to establish her career on her own. She is similar to Sophie Flay in terms of being famed as a daughter of a famous restaurateur.

With over 1.9k followers, Olivia has gathered quite a fan base on her Instagram @oab1227. However, it is private, and what she posts cannot be seen by just anyone. She doesn't seem to have any other social media account besides her Instagram.

Joe Bastianich Was Involved In A Controversy In 2010: 

In the beginning, Joe Bastianich was not involved in any controversy, but it all changed in 2010 when the restaurant employees sued Joe and Mario for skimming tips. According to the lawsuit, they took around four to five percent of wine sales from the employee's tip pool as an unlawful 'tip credit.' The lawsuit was eventually settled for $5.2 million in 2012.

In a MasterChef Italia episode of January 2018, Joe made numerous remarks regarding Chinese men while giving sexually suggestive statements to the women. Later on, he did issue an apology stating:

"This was a scripted segment shot in a Milan nail salon that I've gone to regularly. I know the women, and we were given the questions to discuss in advance. That said, it's clear that some of what I said was in poor taste and not reflective of my views. I'm sorry I said those things."

Even his business partner, Mario Batali, couldn't escape the controversy when he was accused of sexual harassment. It was reported that he had sexually assaulted and harassed many women, including an incident in 2005 where he drugged and sexually harassed an employee. 

After that incident came out to the public, Mario was forced to give up his shares in restaurants in 2019 and sold them to Joe's sister Tanya Bastianich Manuali.
