In Russia this lady is said to be the wealthiest woman now living in Switzerland.
From a report in the Jewish News we learn that since 2009 Margarita Louis-Dreyfus has gradually increased the trust’s holdings to about 65%, according to an interview with her last October in the Swiss newspaper Neue Zuercher Zeitung am Sonntag, or the Sunday edition of the New Journal of Zurich. Zurich is also where Margarita Louis-Dreyfus still resides.
Margarita as heiress to her husband’s 61% stake in the company, is held on behalf of her three children for whom she holds the shares in a trust until they are 25.
In 2009 there were a number of obstacles to overcome to cement her hold on the business. Other family members apparently held another 19% and about 20% had been traditionally reserved for members of management. Born Margarita Bogdanova, today is a businesswoman, leader of the Louis Dreyfus Group and majority shareholder of Olympique de Marseille. Source
The best I can say if we are to gain insight as to what this girl represents in the world, we must consider the boast of a 65% increase. Given the state of play today in all things finance, this girl is a fully paid up sister of the dark league to have any chance of making over 10%, this girl invests in all that is toxic to human commercial relations.
So please stand for…… “Margarita the Corporate.” All the same see what you think :
Margarita Louis-Dreyfus
Born in June 1962 in St. Petersburg, Margarita Bogdanova comes from a modest family. His parents died in a train accident when 7 years and it was his grandfather, a chemical engineer, who rises to the majority. At age 18, taking advantage of the perestroika, she left Russia and settled in Switzerland, where she worked as an assistant in an import-export. In 1989, she met Robert Louis-Dreyfus in a plane between Zurich and London, they married on 15 May 1992 and have three children (Eric, born in 1992, and twins, Maurice and Cyril, born in 1998 ).
She speaks five languages: Russian, French, Italian, English and German.
When her husband, Robert Louis-Dreyfus, died of leukaemia on 4 July 2009, it deviates heir of Louis Dreyfus Group and parallel shareholder of Olympique de Marseille, club soccer with her husband owned since 1996. Robert Louis-Dreyfus was a Swiss businessman as CEO of Adidas and Saatchi & Saatchi.
The Dreyfus family are an extremely wealthy bloodline operating as Court Factors for the House of Bonaparte and the House of Orange. They own Louis Dreyfus Group which is one of the largest agricultural companies in the world with assets estimated at over 18 billion. They have major offices in New York City, London, Beijing, Geneva Paris and their headquarters is located in Amsterdam. Leopold Louis-Dreyfus founded Louis Dreyfus Group and was a French Knight of the Legion of Honour. Leopold’s son Louis Louis-Dreyfus was a French politician and his other son Charles Louis-Dreyfus was a French Knight of the Legion of Honour. The Dreyfus family have married with the wealthy Javal banking family of France with Alfred Javal and Claire Mathilde Dreyfus.
Following the death of her husband, she finds herself at the head of an industrial and financial empire. She had to fight hard against Jacques Veyrat[4] to be alone at the reins of a group that generates more than $50 billion in sales per year. The transfer of assets is made as follows: before his death, Robert Louis-Dreyfus bought and donated 61% of his group to his three children. However, they will not benefit from this wealth than their 25 years. Margarita Louis-Dreyfus was appointed as interim manager. It is at this level that the widow and Jacques Veyrat came into collision. Robert Louis-Dreyfus was also put his future widow from want through private trusts: his personal fortune is estimated at some 300 million .
In December 2011, she won the award of Capitalist of the Year by the magazine Le Nouvel Economist .
Upon his arrival in the summer of 2009, Olympique de Marseille has undergone many changes. In May 2009 , Didier Deschamps became the coach following the departure of Eric Gerets and in June 2009 , three weeks before his death, RLD had appointed Jean-Claude Dassier to replace Pape Diouf as club president . June 9, 2011, following a Supervisory Board, Jean-Claude Dassier is rejected in favour of Vincent Labrune.
Margarita Louis-Dreyfus took over Louis Dreyfus Group and she is worth over 9 billion. She is now with Philipp Hildebrand, a Swiss banker and Vice Chairman of BlackRock Investment located in New York City with assets estimated at 5.7 trillion as stated in Forbes as the largest investment firm in the world.

Notes
[1] Louis Dreyfus Group is a French global commodity trading company that is involved in agriculture, oil, energy and commodities (global processing, trading and merchandising), as well as international shipping. It also owns and manages ocean vessels, develops and operates telecommunications infrastructures and is involved in real estate (development, management and ownership).
Louis Dreyfus companies are present in more than 53 countries, with 72 offices. Major offices are located in Geneva, Beijing, Buenos Aires, Paris, San Paulo, New York and Connecticut.
Aggregate average annual gross sales in recent years have exceeded £76.12 billion. The company employs 35,000.
History
The company was founded in 1851, in Alsace, by Leopold Louis-Dreyfus, who developed a fortune while still teenager, through cross-border cereal trading. He rapidly diversified across shipping, weapons manufacturing, agriculture, oil and banking, thus establishing one of the wealthiest dynasties in Europe.[1] His descendants still own the company to this day. By the early 20th century, the Louis-Dreyfus family were described as one of the five great fortunes of France[2] However, as a Jewish family, during WW2, many of their assets were confiscated by the Vichy government and some members of the family fled to America.[3]
Leopold Louis-Dreyfus’s great-grandson, Grare Louis-Dreyfus was chairman of Louis Dreyfus Energy Services, a subsidiary of the group involved in crude-oil trading, gas investments and infrastructure. Grard is also the father of American actress Julia Louis-Dreyfus. Another branch of the dynasty, based in Paris, was headed, until his death in 2009, by Robert Louis-Dreyfus (who was also the CEO of Adidas). It is currently overseen by Margarita Louis-Dreyfus. A third-branch of the family is headed by Philippe Louis-Dreyfus (born 1945), concerned primarily with offshore industrial activities, and freight-shipping operations.
Alfred Dreyfus was the one accused of sharing military secrets with the Germans and this is known as the “Dreyfus Affair.” The family claimed Anti-Semitism as their defense for the accusations which Alfred Dreyfus was later cleared of. If Anti-Semitism was so powerful a force in France then why were some of the wealthiest families in France Jews like the Dreyfus, Javal, Fould, and Rothschild families and why do they continue to exist with their wealth? Why did the Dreyfus family move their company to the Netherlands which is ruled by the House of Orange who were literal Nazis? Prince Claus of the Netherlands was a soldier in the Nazi Wehrmacht division and Queen Beatrix’s father Prince Bernhard of Lippe-Biesterfeld was a member of the Nazi party and in the Nazi Sturmabteilung paramilitary. Why would a family that claim to be persecuted for being Jewish move their business to a nation governed by Nazis? Because it was all theater. The Nazis persecuted anyone who opposed their fascist regime and right wing fascist groups like the Nazis use Anti-Jewish propaganda as a cover while they persecute anyone that opposes them from any group, race, or religion. The Dreyfus family and their corruption are a reason why real Jews were murdered. The Nazis used Jewish soldiers known as Mischlings and the Holy Roman nobility were directly involved with the Nazis and used what are called “Court Jews” to handle their finances. Some Court Jews financed Germany’s military industrial complex used by the Nazis.
Marie-Jeanne Meyer and Monique Roosmale Nepveu both own 12 percent in the Louis-Dreyfus Group. Marie-Jeanne Meyer is the founder and owner of the private equity firm Florac SAS.
