Bertrand Puech & family

Net Worth: $55 billion
Company: Hermes
Country:  France

Most ultra-rich women opt for a Hermes or a Louis Vuitton bag, knowing that the brand screams of money and class. This business is where Bertrand Puech and his family were born into. Being the grandson of the founder Emile Hermes certainly has its advantages. However, Puech did not inherit the whole company. Each family member, including his brother Nicolas Puech and cousin Jean-Louis Dumas, had their own shares. They also held various positions in the company.  Bertrand Puech was once the Deputy Managing Director for Human Resources and Chairman of the Management Board before relinquishing them in 2012.

The family collectively has a net worth of $55 billion, and according to world rankings, they rank 15 globally. However, in France, Axel Dumas, current CEO of Hermes International, represents the family in the rankings since 2014. The family could only thank their grandfather for having the foresight to make investments in the luxury brand.
