Liliane Bettencourt was adviced by her financial advisor to invest part of her money at Bernard Madoff’s swindling company. The financial advisor Thierry Magon de La Villehuchet, was found death in he office in New York the day before Christmas. He had killed himself when he found out that he had advised Madame Bettencourt to do business with the devil og business.

There is however no reason to feel bad for the queen of conmetics, as she recently gave art and other things that all together adds up to over 1 billion dollars away to a french fotographer. Her daughter was not pleased by this action. I bet she will be even less pleased to learn that even more of the family fortune has been lost on Madoff.
