BETCHA DIDN'T KNOW THIS
Ever heard of Lagardere SCA? No? Well, maybe because it's a French company.
OK . . . have you ever heard of Hachette Filipacchi Media U.S.? Probably not, but Hachette Filipacchi publishes some magazines you may have heard of.
Those magazines would be Elle, Car & Driver, Women's Day and others. Now it's getting familiar, isn't it? OK, so we have Car & Driver which is published by Hachette Filipacchi which is owned by Lagardere SCA which is a French Corporation.
So . . . are we finished here? No, not quite. It seems that a man who has been in the news quite a bit of late owns around two percent of Lagardere SCA. About $90 million dollars worth. His name? Saddam Hussein.

I've heard of both companies, but I didn't know that Saddam Hussein was a part owner.
I have a subscription to Elle, but I have already paid for it. I am pretty shocked to learn this.
MSKKG, where did you learn this? I consider myself a pretty informed person so this news surprises me.
