Hermès Heir to Give $7 Billion Fortune to 51-Year-Old Gardener

Nicolas Puech, the 80-year-old heir to the Hermès fortune, is reportedly planning to give his $7 billion wealth to his 51-year-old gardener, whom he intends to legally adopt. Puech, who has no children of his own, has already initiated the adoption process with the gardener. He also plans to pass down $5.9 million in properties. Puech left the supervisory board for Hermès in 2014 and currently owns between 5% and 6% of the luxury brand.
