Amongst the many companies with offices in Manhattan is
a multibillion-dollar French conglomerate that handles "diversified commodities, energy, shipping, real estate, manufacturing, and communications." The owner,
Gerard, is one of the richest men in the world, and, at 75, his children and grandchildren stand to inheirit a tidy sum of perhaps half a billion each upon his passing. Unless you've been in a cave for a few decades, one of them has — given syndication, perhaps even daily — been making you laugh for a long, long time. A heiress and
princess who you first met
live from New York (where she met her husband), then a yuppie in
a movie of Christmas indignities, and finally in a small,
barely aired show about, er, nothing ... meet
Elaine Julia, the multibillion-dollar heiress, Northwestern dropout,
Emmy-winning actress, and even
a distant relative of Richard Dreyfuss. And then compare her to a
certain other celebrity heiress.
