The World's Richest Woman

Marianne Farrere is the world's richest woman - heiress to a cosmetics empire for whom money has lost its meaning and cannot buy love. The situation changes when the arrogant fortune-seeker Pierre-Alain, an almost-photographer (Laurent Lafitte), enters her life. Their meeting develops into a platonic romance.

Marianne begins giving the photographer millions - pleasure is worth the price. Her daughter (Marina Foïs) attempts, with the help of lawyers and a butler, to drive the suitor away from the heiress's bank account, but without success.

The story is based on the Liliane Bettencourt scandal. Laurent Lafitte was awarded the César Prize for Best Actor for his role, and the lead is played by Isabelle Huppert.
