10 Billion Dollars for a Gardener!!
Nicolas Puech, the 80-year-old heir to the luxury clothing brand Hermès fortune, is reportedly considering an unconventional way to distribute his wealth. According to the Swiss publication Tribune de Genève, Puech is thinking about naming his former gardener and handyman, a 51-year-old man of Moroccan descent, as his heir. With a net worth estimated between $10 billion and $11 billion, Puech may pass on a significant portion of the Hermès fortune to this individual. The legal proceedings for this arrangement have already begun.
Puech, the fifth-generation heir of Thierry Hermès, the founder of the fashion house, has faced family challenges, particularly during the acquisition of 23% of Hermès by LVMH in 2014. He resigned from the supervisory board at that time due to conflicts within his family.
That gardener must have done an exceptional job at taking care of Puech’s plants!
