Outside of F1, Guelfi was previously a debt collector, a fisherman, a soldier and a realtor, among other professions. He received a suspended three-year jail sentence and a €1 million fine for causing a scandal involving politicians while working for Elf, and even partook in money laundering.

He has retired to Malta and has written a book about his life called L'original (full French title: L'original: D'un village marocain aux secrets de l'affaire Elf, le parcours d'un aventurier de la vie, English: The original: From a Moroccan village to the secrets of the Elf case, the course of an adventurous life).
