And Now For Some Juicy Hermes Family Gossip....

You're not likely to read this on the Hermès website...

April 20, 2003

Olaf Guerrand-Hermès' wife-at-the-time hired a powerful private investigator to search out his financial assets prior to their divorce. The leather goods heir married Olga Rostropovich in 1991 and she filed for divorce in 2001 after discovering he was having an affair with her best friend - who subsequently became pregnant. Olaf pleaded poverty and claimed he had no money to give her despite the fact that Forbes magazine listed the family's stake in the Hermès business as worth over $1 billion in 2000. In October 2003, Olaf was ordered to pay Olga $300,000 a year and another $240,000 annually for their two children, by Manhattan Judge Emily Jane Goodman.

That's very little for Hermes founder's wife. Jamie chua gets sgd 450k per month. Or 5.3m a year. In alimony. Don't think her ex hubby was a billionaire for that matter.
