Francois Pinault & family

Net Worth: $43.4 billion
Company: Kering
Country: France
The luxury good business can indeed be friendly to one’s bank account. Of course, you would have to take big risks, too. François-Henri Pinault, however, is used to the risk-taking strategies he had to make as chairman and CEO of Kering from 2005 until now. He is the one responsible for transforming the Kering brand to become a luxury goods company with revenue of €15.9 billion as of 2019.

He started as a manager at the now-defunct Pinault-Printemps-Redoute, a precursor company to Kering. Pinault then rose to become vice president of PPR and then president of Groupe Artemis, the parent company. The businessman dated Salma Hayek, married her on February 14, 2009, and had a daughter by her, whom they named Valentina. The family of the billionaire for sure lives in a house with the latest home security system that ensures their privacy, given the relative fame of his celebrity wife.
