Billionaire François-Henri Pinault and his family have pledged to donate €100 million (or approx. US $113 million) to rebuild the Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris, following its devastating fire [1].

"My father [François Pinault] and I have decided to release as of now from the funds of Artemis a sum of 100 million euros to participate in the effort that will be necessary for the complete reconstruction of Notre Dame," François-Henri wrote in a statement, according to BuzzFeed [2].

François-Henri is the chairman and CEO of Kering, an international luxury group which owns brands like Gucci, Alexander McQueen, Balenciaga, and Yves Saint Laurent. He's married to actress Salma Hayek [3], who also shared her own sympathies after the heartbreaking damage to the historic landmark. "As many others I'm in deep shock and sadness to witness the beauty of Notre-Dame turn into smoke," she wrote in a caption on Instagram [4]. "I love you Paris." François-Henri and Salma were married less than a mile away from the cathedral, and reportedly still own a home nearby [5].
