Olivier Dassault was also a member of the French Parliament.

The French parliamentarian and businessman’s private plane crashed Sunday afternoon in Normandy, Reuters reports, citing a vacation home here. The pilot of the plane also lost his life in the accident.

Olivier Dassault was one of the heirs of the Dassault Group, which is present in several areas, not only manufacturing airplanes but also publishing Le Figaro, for example. Emanuel Macron said goodbye to the billionaire politician on Twitter, writing: “Olivier Dassault loved France, he never stopped serving our country in his life, his sudden death was a great loss.”

According to the Forbes list, Dassau was the 361st richest man in the world with a wealth of about 6,000 million euros. He inherited most of his money from his father.
