This is the fun bit about that: she tried to dupe the Jewish director out of Parfums Chanel by trying to claim sole ownership during WWII when Jews were basically not allowed to own anything. But the Wertheimers were savvy enough to have already transferred ownership to a Christian ally. After the war it was all transferred back to the Wertheimers. The family still owns the company.
