SHARED WITH HIS EXTENDED FAMILY.
INSIDE THE FAMILY FORTUNE
Using 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 ve fth-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 identied 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.
