Biography
Born on 6 January 1965, in Neuilly-sur-Seine, Henri Beaufour was the son of Albert Beaufour, who died in 2000, and the grandson of Dr. Henri Beaufour, founder of the Ipsen group.[1][2]
He earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Georgetown University, Washington, D.C.
When Albert Beaufour died in 2000, the 76% of the capital held by the family was divided between the three brothers and sisters. One of the daughters, Véronique Beaufour, sold her share, representing 6% of the capital. Anne and her brother Henri Beaufour thus control 57% of the Ipsen group, and both sit on the board of directors of Ipsen and Mayroy, the Ipsen controlling holding company. Their share in Ipsen was still 52% in 2020.[3]
In 2018, his fortune was estimated at €3 billion.[4][5]
Beaufour died on 28 November 2025.[6]
