Swiss multibillionaire businesswoman Margarita Louis-Dreyfus, the 53-year-old chair of French conglomerate Louis Dreyfus Commodities and owner of the Olympique de Marseille football team, is pregnant with twins, the company has said.

“Margarita Louis-Dreyfus, non-executive chairperson of the Louis Dreyfus Commodities Group supervisory board, is pregnant with twin girls, due in early April 2016,” the company said in a statement.

“She intends to continue to exercise her duties as chairperson until the birth, take a brief break and return to work full time in late April,” it added.

Louis-Dreyfus has three sons, including a pair of twins, with her second husband, the French businessman Robert Louis-Dreyfus, who died of leukaemia in 2009. Her current partner, Philipp Hildebrand, 52, is a banker.

Forbes estimated Louis-Dreyfus’s fortune in 2015 to be around $7.1bn (£4.83bn).
