HERMÈS 80-YEAR-OLD GRANDSON IS SET TO ADOPT HIS 51-YEAR-OLD FORMER GARDENER AND TRANSFERRING SOME OF HIS WEALTH TO HIM.(PHOTO).




Nicolas Puech, the billionaire grandson of Hermès founder Thierry Hermès, is making headlines with an unusual succession plan.

The plan involves adopting his 51-year-old former gardener as he seeks to pass on a substantial portion of his wealth, estimated to be between 9 billion and 10 billion Swiss francs (between $10.3 billion and $11.4 billion).

Nicolas Puech, the fifth-generation heir to the renowned luxury fashion house Hermès, is reportedly going through legal processes to formally adopt his “former gardener and handyman,” according to the Swiss publication Tribune de Genève.

The individual in question hails from a “modest Moroccan family,” adding a unique and unexpected twist to the unfolding succession saga.

In a strategic move to redefine the beneficiaries of his substantial estate, estimated to include 5% or 6% ownership of the $220 billion-valued Hermès, billionaire Nicolas Puech is undertaking an unconventional succession plan.

The focus of this plan is his former gardener, an unnamed individual from a modest Moroccan family, whom Puech is in the process of legally adopting.

According to reports from the Tribune de Genève, the gardener, married with two children, is poised to inherit a significant share of Puech’s wealth. Already, Puech has transferred ownership of properties in Marrakesh, Morocco, and Montreux, Switzerland, valued at a combined total of €5.5 million ($5.9 million), to his gardener.

The feud with family members who resisted the takeover seems to have influenced Puech’s unconventional choice of heir.
