1Shared with hiS extended family.
InsIde the FamIly Fortuneusing annual reports dating back to
2005, Forbes has estimated the herms familys wealth at $25 billion.
based on their stake in the business, at least five
fifth-generation descendants of thierry herms are
billionaireseither alone or with their immediate families. (through
a company attorney the family disputes these individual estimates.)
all but one of the identified family members own their stake
through holding companies, all noted as related to those entities.
as of 2011 most family shareholderswho are descended from thierry
herms three great-granddaughters, yvonne, Jacqueline and alinehave
transferred their respective holding company stakes into a single
holding company, called h51, and are under an agreement not to sell
a single share to anyone outside h51 until 2040. this strategy
ensures that a seventh generation will inherit herms.
