The figure of the day: 780 billion euros. This is the cumulative value of the hundred richest French people in 2021. A record up 35% compared to 2020. Capital calculations, stopped at the end of September, could even have resulted in a higher result, the rise in prices of the Stock Exchange in recent weeks – with a CAC 40 installed above 7,000 points – not having been taken into account. The ranking, designed by our financial expert Benoît Boussemart, is based on a strict methodology and indisputable public financial documents. Result: unsurprisingly, Bernard Arnault once again takes first place in the ranking, with 136 billion euros, ahead of the Hermès family (87 billion) and Françoise Bettencourt Meyers, heir to L’Oréal (73 billion).

The rant of TF1 against Molotov paid off. The media giant ordered the start-up to pay it 8.5 million euros. The front page criticized Molotov for broadcasting the group’s channels without his permission, since mid-2019. The application had in fact refused the new tariff schedule imposed by TF1, which it considered particularly favorable to large market operators. But this degressive pricing “constitutes a common practice”, ruled the court, thus proving TF1 right. The stormy relationship between the two actors is therefore perpetuated, since as a reminder, the platform attacked the front page in 2019 for non-compliance with its anti-trust obligations. She had been dismissed by the Competition Authority. A final procedure underway between the two enemies could lead to an agreement. More information on our website.
Capital practical information. Despite the health situation and government stimulus, some employers are still reluctant to grant teleworking days to their employees. If your boss is one of these refractories, know that there are remedies. Employees fearing for their health can apply to their social and economic committee, when it exists, the latter then referring to the labor inspectorate. The latter can also be contacted directly by the employee who does not have a staff representative. An employer who does not take measures for your safety could even end up in court. If you deem the risk and the delay too high, you can exercise your right of withdrawal, but only in certain specific cases. Solutions also exist, on the officials side, but they will have to take their troubles patiently. More details on Capital.fr.
And we end with the relaxation of the health protocol in schools. Invited to the 8 p.m. newspaper on France 2, Jean Castex announced new simplified measures. First of all, when a child is in contact, he can stay in class until the end of the day. Until now, parents had to come and pick him up immediately. Then, the child will have the opportunity to do only three self-tests, without going through a mandatory PCR or antigen test. The last measure concerns certificates in order to prove that the test is indeed negative. Parents will now be able to give a single sworn certificate. As a reminder, the health protocol in schools had already been relaxed by the government on January 7.
