The Hermès Family: When $7 Billion Goes To Your Gardener

[@oldmoneyluxury]

COMMENT: What is your opinion on the Hermès heir passing on his billions to his gardener?

[@LittleMissDeeDee]

Well, it’s his money so he can decide how to distribute it and perhaps, the gardener made such an impact on his life that he felt it was his duty to repay him for his contribution to his life.

[@robwilcox7284]

Not sure what I feel about the gardener getting some Euros, but it surprises me that the French and EU have not found a way to cap the value of wealth transfer above a certain value, yet. Then again, with the hidden-in-plain-sight influence of all these old-money families, maybe I’m not surprised…

[@donaldlynch3283]

I’m a gardener and I think it’s wonderful.

[@bethaminkhan4951]

Chances are that the gardener could never have qualified to get a Birkin..

[@Mythoughtonpoliticaltopics]

Well, it is his money. And the garden has been by his said, I think its a great idea. And he to can get in the Hermès company.

[@MonaKattan]

I love this, I think it’s adorable and I think that the people working to help support your personal life are a huge contribution to your success when you’re operating at that level

[@Trying_trying]

Crazy crazy. You won’t believe me but my dad knows Nicolas Hermes. Long story he has bought large part of my village which is on the seaside of North Morocco. 🇲🇦

[@Trying_trying]

Although I am British 🇬🇧 I am of Morocan 🇲🇦 decent. He wanted to by some land one time. My entire family is from this village although we don’t know the Gardener as he is from France. 🇫🇷 but yeah too many stories I have of him as he has built huge mansions in my Village. I never met him but my family who have speak well of Nicolas Hermes.

[@Trying_trying]

There are a lot of people in my village who have nice houses and mansions but when I saw his I was like wow 😮 it’s literally about 4/5 acres he made his own river basically and his own golf course.

[@De_Séchelles]

What is the name of the village

[@Jamietheroadrunner]

Btw, if u don’t mind me asking, are things better in Morocco now?

[@catherinenewman6516]

Adopting an adult and fathering a child is not the same thingf

[@Classof-iu6yz]

One thing to add: Nicolas Puech is the biggest individual shareholder of Hermès who wants to inherit the half of his net worth to his gardener. However, Nicolas Puech was also the only family member, who voted for the Hermès acquisition by LVMH when Bernard Arnault held 23% of Hermès. In order to avoid the takeover from LVMH, all Hermès family members founded a trust and freezed their shares to protect their voting rights and their brand. Nicolas Puech did not join the trust. So.. even if the gardener gets $7 billion, there is no impact on the shareholder structure. I am proud to have Hermès in my stock portfolio.

His money, he should give to people he cares about and cares about him.

When Karl Lagerfeld said, ‘If you’re going to throw money out the window, throw it with joy!!’ , he must mean this guy.

[@Pharaonin62]

I like the wholly story. The most I love from HERMES are the bags and scarfs. Thank you for your work.

[@smartdoctorphysicist3095]

Hi I am very happy for the Gardener, the family will always make money. I wish someone would help me out like that, I would be super happy.

[@limnancy5146]

I was hoping to see some of the gardeners work like what was shared in Dame Murdoch home in Australia. Gardeners can boost the environment, homes...shops.... with their design, creativity...enhance value of the real estate...bring inspiration......if he has done all this, then he deserve it.

[@glenissansom7990]

There is enough money in the pot. I think the gardener deserves to be given this gift

[@Ellaine-o6h]

Isso é mentira onde ele ia dá fortuna dele pro jardineiro😢 pode até ser né mais sei nn viu. Nn duvido de mais nada nesse mundo

[@almagsino5683]

Wonderful story. Thanks for a very thorough study of the Hermes, family empire and its struggles to keep it's brand from being diluted by it's competitors/predators. It is a story well told. Bravo!!!

[@phylis3917]

Yes well told.

[@jennyandrievna4627]

Very thoughtful and carefully told presentation. Thank you for the education into this part of the world that mainstream media only gives the general public rare and curated glimpses of. I trust that the small bit about the gardener will be only a comma in the saga of Hermes.

[@sujitsinghpardeshi2093]

Hey Jenni,,I am also a Gardner,,donate some of your fortune to me also😊😊

[@jennyandrievna4627]

[@joeson7700]

Its product was an OBSESSION but absolutely NEVER an Essential NECESSITY in Life

[@Asklu1]

Well interesting, it completes my informations about this Family, where I have been working as a nurse for Jean R. Guerrand, his Wife Aline and his son Jèrôme. Well why do Nicolas Puech changes his mind. This gardner has already been gifted generosly. There must be some revange behind it. The Guerrand were always very generous with me. Wasn't it a Puech who sold his Papers to LVMH? Thanks

[@songsenkei]

No way unless the gardener was his long time lover so he wants him taken care of after his death. Another possibility is if the gardener is his secret son.

[@USA79999]

See roses and look for a coffin

[@D100-z1g]

If it was his son he wouldn’t be the gardener

[@dressydress9726]

Sometimes when media points us to a particular story, they intend to cover up a bigger story.

[@exas4791]

Entertaining but that didn’t explain why he wanted to donate his fortune to his gardener.

[@lavendersprig2905]

I wish they would bring back the original Parfum d’ Hermes !!!!!

[@jeffreypierson8714]

I think that if the gentleman wants to leave it to his gardner, thats his business and with the legacy of the Hermes brand, it will be inconsequential. Lets hope the gardner does something meaningful with his new found wealth.

[@MiracleCleans]

I am the poorest of the poor I would love to meet Mr, Nicolas Puech maybe he'd help me too, never look at people of a menial job, Mr Puech you are the World's hero. I love you so much

[@albertDavis-b2d]

[@ItsMe-yv9jd]

?? Gotta say, as a guy, I can't imagine the level of anger and humiliation the daughters of the Hermes family must have felt, to simply be dismissed and denied a position in the family business, (because you are just a girl) while your husband or your sisters husband is offered a position in your fathers company and eventually inherits control, (while you are forced to sit back and watch, like a piece of furniture.)

[@renatastec5212]

Probably they were very happy, as they could live a life of luxury without having to stress.

[@carynefuture5778]

Thank you for your concern for us women. But, most women would be thrilled with this outcome, with their husband Becoming the leader, the CEO of the empire created by your father or grandfather. Despite What feminism wants to Make us believe most women are primarily home makers, dedicated to their family , children, husband, and relationships in general. And Want to enjoy a nice beautiful lifestyle. Most women are not meant to be CEOs, billionaires by themselves. How Can you give birthday and take Care of 4-5 children if you run a international billionaire family brand. When women choose to work, they prefer doing a job they're passionnate about, liké in the arts, music, theatre, fashion but they prefer to slow down once they have children. Look, today, women are FORCED to work, most families need both incomes, so What's happening? Thé birthday rates are collapsing everywhere in the World, in all western countries, and even many Asia. Countries !!! Only Africa and India are making enough children. So, sorry , feminism lied to us. We can't do both. Not everytime. Humankind IS facing extinction in a few decades, and the decrease IS starting now, around 2026-2030. Men and women are a team, complimentary, not identical I Hope humankind will find a solution... I used to be feminist, by the way. Unfortunately...I am still very ambitious, but Only in Things I am passionnate about (acting and spiritual life coaching)... Thanks for reading. Take Care.

[@Monicagpi]

​@@carynefuture5778blessings to your well choosen words expressing a "reality" with wisdom, perspective, values & respect. You are 200% right and hope sometime the rest of "angry" feminists realise the damage in future generations is causing. No doubt behind a successful gentleman there is a great lady. (Giving him home support, family affection and respect). So they can provide for all mother & kids a safe home and future stability. We complement each other. We were made perfect for the union, therefore community.

[@Monicagpi]

Those Ladies & wife's were and still are the best social promoters, attending high class venues, charity ball, and looking glamorous when they show at Gala dinner with their working & well respected husbands. Heritage is based on a protocolarian respect for each one duties, like the Royals. Is not a life to comprehend for those who do not belong to aristocrats in their ancestors family tree. I did, so I loved it and I am passing such values to our next generation, the rest is just a "temporary" feminism that will not last because is not "organic". I am happy attending my beloved husband, kids and running several charities to help, guide, educate, nurture & love world children in need. Blessed to have such a husband who cares, works, provides & protect us. Judging will never set us free, instead helping the community with love & empathy. Blessings to All.

I’d pay $7billion to my Gardner with no problem if I had this much money

[@Lou-zf3uo]

If it won't hurt the company, it is a good gesture. Though it must be stated that it should benefit for the better rather than wasted. For, it's easy to spend money that which, you have not hard earned. But if, it might tip the scale and hurt the company. It is an unwise decision.

[@Mythoughtonpoliticaltopics]

We do not know what this man went through. His gardener might be more than a gardener. he could have helped with with paperwork. When he was sick he did of lot of things, Instead of being happy for him someone made a comment maybe the gardener could not afford one of the bags. That was very low down. God put people in people's lives for a reason. Maybe the gardener did not have a family and Mr Hermès was there for him, As for me, I rather invest in stocks than go around trying to be this and that,

How did he do that, seeing as though the maximum amount total that anyone can give to anyone (excluding non-profits) is currently around 12 million. After that, huge federal estate taxes come out. Sometimes almost as much as half.
