French billionaire and politician Serge Dassault died of a heart attack at the age of 93.
The businessman died at the headquarters of his family company Dassault Aviation, which he himself headed since the death of his father, the designer Marcel Dassault in 1986.
In addition to the aviation company, Dassault was the owner of one of the most influential French newspapers Le Figaro. According to the magazine Forbes, the state of Dassault is about 15 billion dollars.
Recall, the father of Serge Dassault during the Second World War refused to cooperate with the German troops, who demanded assistance with the design of military aviation. For his disagreement Marcel Dassault was exiled to Buchenwald, but survived and subsequently constructed the Rafale fighters, which are in service with France and Egypt.
