Those familiar with French business history will recall a certain Louis Dreyfus Group that started out under Leopold Dreyfus in the 1850s. As may be obvious from her name, Seinfeld star Julia Dreyfus is the direct descendant of that illustrious tycoon. Not only did this guarantee her the proverbial silver spoon at birth, it also implies that she will inherit part of the family’s $3 billion fortune. It probably won’t add many zeroes to her bank balance though, given that towards the end of her work on Seinfeld, she commanded about $600,000 an episode.
