Thanks to Frédéric Merlin for joining us on LEGEND. He ranks 207th on the *Challenges* list of France’s wealthiest people. He looks back on his journey and how he managed to become a co-owner—alongside his sister—of a major department store company at the age of 33. He heads a portfolio of 11 shopping centers, including two BHV and seven Galeries Lafayette locations. He also shares the story of how he turned down a government ministerial position.
