Francoise Bettencourt-Meyers inherited a huge fortune L'Oreal after the death of October 20 to her mother Lillian Bettencourt. By some estimates, this makes the 64-year-old woman the richest on Earth.

As of October 29, Bettenkur-Meyers' net worth was $ 42,3 billion, reports Bloomberg.

The Bettencourt family that founded L'Orealowns 33% of the company's shares, the value of which in May 2017 of the year was $ 107,5 billion.

In 2011, Bettencourt-Meyers owned a classic-style villa in the suburbs of Paris in Neuilly-sur-Seine, alone in Brittany coast and a secluded island in the Seychelles.

Betancourt-Meyers was born on July 10 of the year 1953. She is the president of her own family foundation, the Bettencourt-Schuyler Foundation, which, from 2010, numbered about $ 683 million. She also holds a degree and is the author of books on Greek mythology and Jewish-Christian relations.

Many women I know say that she can spend several hours a day playing the piano, is very private and “lives as if in her own cocoon.”

The only child in the family, she adored parents. Her father served four times in the Cabinet of Ministers of France and was a member of the National Assembly. He was often absent for a long time at home, so Francoise spent most of his time with his mother. The tastes and characters of women, however, were completely different. Lilian was a social lady and adored luxury toilets. The daughter was a closed intellectual and spent more time with pianos and books than at masquerades and secular dinners. Now she is the author of a five-volume Bible study, writes Tatler.

The split between the two women was caused by the marriage of Francoise: in 1984, she married Jean-Pierre Myers, the grandson of a rabbi killed in Auschwitz. With her husband, Francoise raised two of her sons in Judaism, which finally alienated the mother and daughter from each other.

Lilian Betancourt spoke very straightforwardly about this: “With 2003, we didn’t speak with Francoise.” The piquancy of the situation is that the father of Lilian herself and the founder L'Oréal Eugene Schueller once supported anti-Semitic groups and after the war was accused of collaborating with the Nazis.

Francoise herself denies that the cause of the friction is her marriage. The real alienation, according to her, began in the early 1990s, when the famous French photographer Francois-Marie Banier began to “get screwed” into their family. Her mother began to avoid her.

As a result, in 2008, Bettencourt-Meyers filed a criminal complaint against Francois-Marie Banier, accusing him of taking advantage of her mother’s difficult mental state to deceive an elderly heiress of more than $ 1 billion, which he received in cash and gifts. Francois-Marie Banier allegedly manipulated Battencourt, who provided him with cash, expensive works of art, insurance policies and checks, the total amount of which amounted to more than one billion three hundred thousand dollars.

The investigation into this case created discord between Battencourt and her daughter, who claimed that in this way she “just wanted to get her mother back.”

During the investigation, the police seized the will of Ms. Betancourt, in which she declared Banier to be her sole heir. According to the butler, having drawn up a document, the lady immediately forgot who it was that made her happy. The fact that the lawyer's daughter used as another proof that the old woman simply out of her mind.

"If a woman does not know who her heir is, whether she has an island or not, then it is clear that she is not able to make any decisions."

At the end of August 2010, lawyer Lillian Betancourt announced that Banier was no longer the heir - his client realized that she had given him too much, and the lawsuit against the photographer was canceled. After this relationship, Lillian and the French began to build.

However, in October 2011, the judge ruled that Battencourt could not manage the family’s property because of her mental state. As a result, the court gave her custody of his daughter and grandchildren. Since then, she has been under their care, and in the company L'Oréal her position was taken by the son of Frenchman Jean-Victor Meyers.
