Summary:  "Was the world's wealthiest woman, Liliane Bettencourt, heir to an estimated thirty-six-billion-dollar L'Oreal fortune, the victim of a con man? Or were her own family the real villains? The story behind the cause celebre that has captivated France and the world. Liliane Bettencourt is the eleventh wealthiest person on the planet, as of 2016. But at ninety-four, she's embroiled in an incredible controversy that has dominated the headlines and ensnared a former president of France in the controversy. Artist and photographer Francois-Marie Banier was given hundreds of millions of dollars by Liliane. Liliane's daughter, Francoise, considers Banier a con man and filed a lawsuit against him, but Banier has a far different story to tell. It's Europe's biggest scandal in years, uncovering a shadowy corporate history, buried World War II secrets, illicit political payoffs, and much more. Written by Tom Sancton, a Vanity Fair contributor and former Time correspondent currently living in France. Part courtroom drama; part upstairs-downstairs tale; and part business narrative of a glamorous global company with past Nazi connections. The story of a complex, fascinating family and the intruder who nearly tore it apart"--Provided by publisher.
