Most people around the World know François-Henri Pinault as Salma Hayek’s husband, but today we know the billionaire as the man who pledged €100 million to rebuild the Notre-Dame Cathedral. He is not the only French billionaire to do so. France’s richest man Bernard Arnault, the founder of the LVMH Group, doubled that offer according to CBS News.
This is what billionaires should do because they cannot take it with them.
Notre-Dame de Paris has survived since the first stone was placed in 1150, and it will live on for centuries to come. It has seen a lot of destruction around it throughout the ages, but now all of that sorrow has been burned away and new memories, hopefully, happier ones, will be made around it.
This Easter, no matter what you practice, take a moment and be thankful that the Cathedral survived. It truly is a miracle. A place that brings people together for good lives another day. We need more places to bring us together and not tear us apart because at the end of the day we all are all born, bleed red and die.
