- Summary
- Victim of a con man-- or her own family? Liliane Bettencourt is the world's richest woman, but at ninety-four she's embroiled in an controversy that has dominated the headlines. An artist and photographer named Francois-Marie Banier was given hundreds of millions of dollars by Liliane. Francoise, her daughter, considers Banier a con man and filed a lawsuit against him. Europe's biggest scandal in years uncovers a shadowy corporate history, buried World War II secrets, illicit political payoffs, and much more. Sancton looks at a complex, fascinating family and the intruder who nearly tore it apart
