The Billionaire, the Butler & the Boyfriend

Also, her family has been bribing politicians of all political stripes since before the second World War. And something that was not mentioned at all in this documentary at all, she was the person who lost the most money to Bernie Madoff's Ponzi scheme. That's the fascinating thing about this documentary - this woman has more money than she possibly can ever spend in her life, and yet she and those she is surrounded by, are constantly trying to buy influence, and help her evade taxes. I mean, even if she spent 90% of her yearly income on tax, she would still be one of the richest people alive. And while it is sad that she was taken advantage of when she was older because she had Alzheimer's, the crazy thing is that the people who took advantage of her the most were put on trial. Neither she nor her family wherever charged or convicted of any crimes related to tax evasion in France. The French president she bribed was charged with that crime, got out of it, it was so corrupt that he was convicted of a different crime. But the richest woman in the world was not charged with any crime. That should be unbelievable but unfortunately it is not.
