Early lifeMichel David-Weill was born to a Jewish family on November 23, 1932. His father, Pierre David-Weill (1900–1975), was the Chairman of Lazard Frères; his mother was Berthe Haardt. His great-grandfather, fr:Alexandre Weill (banquier), worked as a bookkeeper at Lazard Freres, a firm co-founded by his cousins, Alexandre, Elie, and Simon Lazard.[1] In 1900, his grandfather, David David-Weill was named a partner.[1] In 1927, his father Pierre David-Weill became a partner.[1] Separated from his father who was in New York City during World War II, David-Weill remained behind with his mother in occupied France and during the last year of Nazi occupation, at age 11, he had to hide with his mother and younger sister, in the French village of Béduer (Lot, southwestern France)[1] where they were baptized and raised as Catholics (his father Pierre would later convert to Catholicism in 1965).[2] After World War II was over, he went to live in New York City with his family.[3] David-Weill was educated at the Lycée Français de New York and l'Institut d'Etudes Politiques de Paris.[4] CareerIn 1956, he joined Lazard Freres and in 1961, he became a partner[1] Under the stewardship of chairman André Meyer, Felix Rohatyn, who handled acquisitions, and himself, who handled the books, Lazard grew rapidly. In 1975, his father died and he inherited his equity stake in Lazard, becoming the largest stake holder in both Lazard New York and Lazard Paris, while also holding stakes in Lazard London.{{citation needed|date=October 2015}} In 1977, when Meyer became sick and Rohatyn turned down an offer to replace him, David-Weill was named chairman.[1] He continued to work closely with managing director, Felix Rohatyn, who was also made senior partner at Lazard in 1961.[5] Also, by the power provided in clause 4.1 of Lazard partnership agreement, he alone had the power to set compensations and had the right to fire any partners at his discretion. Under David-Weill's direction, Lazard began to expand its business from traditional M&A advising to areas such as asset management and municipal bond. He also made numerous hires, including Steven Rattner. Lazard's profits also jumped from $5 million in the late 70s to $500 million in the late 90s. David-Weill also re-united the branches of Lazard by combining his stakes in New York and Paris and buyout Pearson for its stake in Lazard London for more than $600 million. After the retirement of Rohatyn, the firm's most prominent deal maker, however, Lazard under David-Weill's leadership began to take a turn for the worse. Other deal makers such as J. Ira Harris and Rattner also left the firm. To strengthen Lazard, David-Weill hired Bruce Wasserstein as CEO. Wasserstein later decided to take Lazard public against the wishes of the family patriarch. David-Weill later stated that he regretted ever having hired Wasserstein.[6] David-Weill is currently a director of Groupe Danone, one of the world's largest food-product companies.[4] Personal lifeIn 1956, he married Hélène Marie Lehideux, daughter of Robert Lehideux, brand president at Renault. They have three children: Béatrice, married to Édouard Stern; Cécile, married to Emmanuel Renom de La Baume; and Nathalie, married to Olivier Merveilleux du Vignaux (see entry on French Wikipedia Famille David-Weill) He was honored by the government of France, made a Commander of the Legion of Honor and Commander of Ordre des Arts et des Lettres, that nation's highest cultural honor.[4] References1. ^1 2 3 4 5 [https://www.forbes.com/global/2000/0904/0317044a.html Fortune Magazine: "Assault On The House Of Lazard" by Robert Lenzner] September 4, 2000 {{Authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:David-Weill, Michel}}2. ^{{cite book |last1=Cohen|first1=William D.|title=The Last Tycoons: The Secret History of Lazard Freres & Co.|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=HyAStpnw2-IC&pg=PA162&lpg=PA162&dq=#v=onepage&q=catholic&f=false|year=2007|publisher= Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group|pages=52–53|isbn=978-0385521772}} 3. ^{{cite book |last=Danzgier |first=Danny |title=Museum: Behind the Scenes at the Metropolitan Museum of Art |location=New York |publisher=Penguin |year=2007 |page=61 |isbn=9780143114260 }} 4. ^1 2 Academie de Beaux Artes: "Michel DAVID-WEILL retrieved October 3, 2015 5. ^{{cite book |last=Teitelman |first=Robert |chapter=Michel David-Weill |title=Wall Street People: True Stories of Today's Masters and Moguls |editor-first=Charles D. |editor-last=Ellis |editor2-first=James R. |editor2-last=Vertin |location=New York |publisher=Wiley & Sons |year=2001 |page=281 |isbn=0471221066 }} 6. ^[https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB109837530705351931 Lazard's David-Weill Wants Wasserstein To Quit if IPO Fails] 11 : French money managers|French bankers|American bankers|American people of French-Jewish descent|Officers of the National Order of Merit (France)|French emigrants to the United States|Sciences Po alumni|1932 births|Living people|Grand Officiers of the Légion d'honneur|Lycée Français de New York alumni |
