The billionaires rushed to give money for the reconstruction of Notre Dame, the critics have not been slow in coming

Even before the smoke dissipates, the luxury goods magnate, François-Henri Pinault, announced that his family would give 100 million euros (112 million USD) for the restoration. Similarly, not to stay on the sidelines, his rival Bernard Arnault – executive director of LVMH and the richest man in Europe – promised to double that amount on Tuesday morning. The family Bettencourt Meyers, owner of L & # 39; Oreal, quickly fulfilled this promise. And Patrick Pouyanne, executive director of the French oil giant Total, has offered an additional 112 million.
