Olivier Sarkozy started his career in financial services in 1990, working for Dillon, Read & Co., an American investment bank.

Even if he is that wealthy, Olivier Sarkozy is still not as rich as his wife, Mary-Kate Olsen, who has an estimated net worth of $150 million. The banker started dating the actress in 2012 and the couple became quickly present in all media, especially because of the age difference between them. They secretly got married in 2014, in a quiet ceremony. Olivier Sarkozy has two children from a previous marriage with the writer Charlotte Bernard.
