Our
Shareholders
The combined net worth of DELAGE shareholders represents several tens of billions of euros. This is why financing has never been an issue for DELAGE since its resurrection was initiated in 2019. Here is a non-exhaustive selection of our shareholders:
Laurent Tapie
Re-founder and CEO of DELAGE, he is the majority shareholder of the company. A former McKinsey consultant before becoming a successful serial internet entrepreneur, Laurent is above all an automobile enthusiast.
Antoine Arnault
The Arnault family owns LVMH, the world's leading luxury goods company. Antoine has led several companies within the group (Berluti, Loro Piana) and is a member of the Executive Committee. He is a great art enthusiast, but even more so a sports fan, notably through the 2025 acquisition of the Paris FC football club (which has since been promoted to the top tier of French football, Ligue 1). He is also a collector of fine cars, particularly those from the 80s and 90s, and has a carefully curated collection.
François & François-Henri Pinault
Father and son, François and François-Henri are among the most famous French billionaires. They own, among other companies, "Kering", the second-largest luxury group in the world (with brands such as Gucci, Yves Saint-Laurent, Alexander McQueen, Brioni, Boucheron and many others). The Pinault art collection is also famously considered one of the most important in the world.
Xavier Niel
Self-made man, Xavier built a telecom empire and became one of the most famous French billionaires. He is also known as the founder of the largest free school training for future jobs, in the heart of Silicon Valley, and of the world's largest startup incubator (located in Paris) with over 1,000 companies in which he has invested as a business angel.
Christian Boyer
Christian was one of the first executive leaders of Microsoft France in the 1980s, making him one of the earliest and most significant shareholders of the company. He later co-founded a successful software company. Trained at the same engineering school as Louis Delage, Christian is also a notable French automobile collector, with a particular taste for very rare and fast cars. Beyond being a shareholder of Delage Automobiles, Christian is also the first French customer to have ordered a Delage D12.
Frédéric Leroux
Frédéric is co-founder of Carmignac, the largest independent asset management fund in Europe (over €50 billion under management). Frédéric is also a top-tier car collector, with over 100 cars from all eras, including very rare units such as an original Rolls-Royce with gold inserts from 1929, a Lamborghini Countach Periscopio, a Bugatti Atalante and other automotive jewels.
Georges Cohen
Self-taught, Georges built a multi-billion-euro IT consulting company, which was acquired by Cap Gemini, of which he subsequently became CEO and principal shareholder. Georges is also the owner of Calivigny Island (Grenada) and permanent representative of Grenada to the United Nations.
Hassanein Hiridjee
Hassanein is an Indian billionaire based in Madagascar, ranked 7th wealthiest in Africa and elected "CEO of the Year" at the African Economic Forum 2022. He built one of the largest conglomerates in the Indian Ocean, with his main activities in telecoms and energy. He is also a notable art collector and founder of "Fondation H" which houses the largest collection of African art in the world.

Kevin is a French self-made man who, before even turning 40, had already sold his Cloud Telecom company for several hundred million euros. He is passionate about and collects automobiles, particularly Aston Martins.
Albert & André Abchée

From generation to generation, the reins of the group have been passed on, with developments in multiple activities, notably the import, distribution and automotive trading in Europe of German, French, Italian and Japanese brands (among others).
