The L'Oréal heiress was born in 1953 as the granddaughter of the brand founder Eugène Schueller and daughter of Liliane Bettencourt and the politician André Bettencourt. In an interview with French newspaper Le Monde, Françoise said she believes that “money actually drives people crazy.”
Françoise is a very reclusive woman and attributes this trait to her childhood, when her parents took her out of school and began educating her at home, fearing that she would be kidnapped for ransom. The billionaire has a shy profile, doesn't like to show off and, unlike her mother Liliane, Françoise is much more intellectual than social.
In an interview with Le Monde, Françoise said that she was aware of her privilege, but that she was never raised to love money. He said that even in his house, money was never discussed, which was a difficult word to say.
