About Francoise Bettencourt Meyers & family

Francoise Bettencourt Meyers is the granddaughter of the founder of L'Oreal.

Bettencourt Meyers and her family own more than a third of the publicly traded beauty giant.

She has served on L'Oreal's board since 1997 but announced in February she would retire in 2025.

She became France's reigning L'Oreal heiress in 2017 when her mother Liliane Bettencourt, then the world's richest woman, died at age 94.

Bettencourt Meyers also serves as the president of her family's philanthropic foundation, which encourages French progress in the sciences and arts.

Together, L'Oreal and the Bettencourt Meyers family agreed to donate $226 million to repair Notre Dame Cathedral following the 2019 fire.
