Wertheimer family (Chanel) is recognized among Jewish contributors to Economics & Business — Owners of Chanel
The Wertheimer family are the owners of the fashion house Chanel, a controlling stake they have held since backing the Chanel perfume business in the 1920s. They are a French Jewish family; brothers Pierre and Paul Wertheimer fled to the United States during World War II as their business was targeted for 'Aryanization', and the family (today Alain and Gerard Wertheimer) later regained control.
