The majority shareholders of Bouygues Telecom and Iliad (Free) taking full advantage of market euphoria generated by this assignment. Bolloré but always ahead.
We do not know yet what will be the outcome of the game trying to play around the sale of SFR Vivendi but these maneuvers in the telecom business are large French fortunes of the sector: Xavier Niel, Martin Bouygues and Vincent Bolloré.
Soaring Iliad traded since last Tuesday (24.25%) is due to the excellent results of the operator published on March 10, but also by his unexpected alliance with his enemy, Bouygues Telecom. It also displays a nice weekly increase (+12.7%), showing that the markets believe in the success of the giga-merger between Bouygues and SFR .
With this recent increase, the three owner-shareholders have seen their fortunes grow fabulously in a few days: € 260 million for Martin Bouygues and ... 1.2 billion euros for Xavier Niel.The increase is even more impressive since our ranking of large fortunes appeared last summer:Martin Bouygues and increased by more than 40%, from 1.65 billion to 2.55 billion when Xavier Niel goes "that "24% of 5.9 to 7.3 billion.
Bolloré weighs nearly 11.5 billion euros
Leaving the telecom sector, Vivendi is paradoxically one who benefit the least from the reshuffling (-2.2% this week), while many analysts have been asking for months to refocus its Vivendi heart of business, the media, and the sale of business less profitable branches, as had become the telecoms since the arrival of Free Mobile. But Vincent Bolloré has not depleted since our last ranking: 9 months, the price of Vivendi which he owns 5% took more than 35%.
And other investments, the Italian bank Mediobanca and family holding company listed respectively took 50% and 42%. In the end, Vincent Bolloré today weighs about 11.4 billion euros (against 8 billion in our last ranking).Therefore remain well ahead of Xavier Niel and Martin Bouygues in our ranking next summer ... unless the spring more surprises!
