The Bettencourt Affair

Liliane Bettencourt was the world`s richest woman, and the tenth wealthiest in the entire world. But at 93, became embroiled in incredible controversy – controversy so great it almost took down the French government. It`s all become Europe`s biggest scandal in years, uncovering a shadowy corporate history, a buried WWII secret, and much more – so much that the former President of France has become embroiled in the controversy.
