Amid the outpouring of support for one of Europe's most iconic monuments, France’s billionaires and businesses have lined up to pledge their support to help rebuild Notre-Dame, with the total so far at nearly 700 million euros, according to France24.
French luxury group Kering, whose brands include Yves Saint Laurent and Gucci, kicked off the donations late Monday with a promise of 100 million euros ($113 million).
That pledge was followed on Tuesday by a 200-million-euro pledge from Kering's rival LVMH and the family of its founder Bernard Arnault.
