François-Henri Pinault — chairman and CEO of Kering KER, +0.41% , the French-based luxury group behind Gucci, Balenciaga, Yves Saint Laurent and other world-renowned brands — has pledged over $110 million towards the rebuilding of the Notre Dame cathedral.
Pinault, who is married to actress Salma Hayek, said in a statement that he plans to pay through his family’s investment firm, Artemis, for any work that needs to be done following Monday’s catastrophic fire, according to AFP. The billionaire reportedly pledged 100 million euros, or $113 million. He hopes that the money will help church officials “completely rebuild Notre Dame.” French president Emmanuel Macron had vowed to do so earlier in the day.
“We will rebuild Notre Dame because it is what the French expect,” Macron said, calling it “the epicenter” of their lives.Want news about Europe delivered to your inbox? Subscribe to MarketWatch's free Europe Daily newsletter. Sign up here.

French civil defense pans Trump’s ‘flying water tankers’ advice for putting out Notre Dame fireWithout naming President Trump, the French agency responsible for emergency management said in an English-language tweet that water-bombing “could lead to the collapse of the entire structure of the cathedral.” Says the guy that cut corners with fire suppression in his residential buildings, NRA and Trump proposing 'Giant Water Gun' Trump is such a buffoon! The US is a laughing stock in the eyes of the world, and it deserves to be. He's caused more death and destruction than the Tsarnaev brothers, and until he's locked away and silenced, we will continue to suffer because of his idiocy and malignancy.
