Margarita with her current partner Philipp Hildebrand, a
52-year-old Swiss banker
Swiss billionaire Margarita Louis-Dreyfus announced she
is heavy with her second set of twins. The 53-year-old chairwoman of French
conglomerate Louis Dreyfus Commodities and widow of French businessman Robert
Louis-Dreyfus is expecting twin girls in early April. Margarita and Robert, who
married in 1992 had three sons, Eric and twins Kyril and Maurice, before he
died of leukemia in 2009. Margarita
is currently dating Swiss banker
Philipp Hildebrand, 52, the vice chairman of US investment manager BlackRock,
however she has not confirmed or not he is the father of her unborn children.
In a statement made via her company, Margarita confirmed
that she plans on continuing her duties as non-executive chairwoman until the
birth, before taking a brief maternity leave and returning to work full time in
late April.
The Russian-born businesswoman gained Swiss nationality
through her first marriage before she met Robert in 1988 on a flight to London
from Zurich. Margarita, who was working as a circuit-board-equipment seller
when they wed, became a full time wife and mother. However, before his death,
Robert set up a family trust called Akira BV to hold his majority stake in the
privately held, Amsterdam-based company, naming Margarita the family trustee.
She also owns the Olympique de Marseille football team, and
according to Forbes, she is among one of the richest women in the world with a
net worth of $7.1 billion.
