Gérard Louis-Dreyfus (born 1932 in Paris, France), also known as William Louis-Dreyfus, is a French businessman and one of the richest men in the world, his and his family's net worth is estimated at $3.4 billion by Forbes. He is the son of businessman/racecar driver Pierre Louis-Dreyfus, and his first wife, who was the daughter of an American industrialist. His cousin is Jean Louis-Dreyfus, grandson of the family business founder, Leopold Louis-Dreyfus.


In 1940 he moved to the United States with his American mother after her divorce from Pierre. By 1945 he had adopted the name William as a symbol of his integration into American society (see[[1]]).

While in France he retains the name Gérard, in the US he is William. He graduated from Duke University and Duke University Law School, he worked at the law firm of Dewey Ballantine, New York, before joining Louis Dreyfus in 1965.

The family business, the Louis Dreyfus Group, encompass citrus, agricultural commodities, energy (crude oil and petroleum products, natural gas, petrochemicals and plastic resins), Agricultural Financial Risk Management, manufacturing, real estate, shipping, and telecommunications.

His daughter, by former wife, Judith Bowles, is actress Julia Louis-Dreyfus. His cousin is Robert Louis-Dreyfus, the former owner of Adidas.
