Liliane Bettencourt Exits Family Business

Liliane Bettencourt, heiress of cosmetics giant L’Oreal and France’s richest woman, has quit the board of the family business and will be replaced by her grandson.

I feel so sorry for this woman. I think of the saying that money can't buy happiness. It also can't buy true protection.
