France's richest man Bernard Arnault pledges €200M, Salma Hayek's billionaire husband donates €100M to rebuild the Notre Dame Cathedral

Donations to rebuild Notre Dame have exceeded 650 million euros as France's richest man pledged 200 million euros (£170m) towards the restoration after Monday night's inferno.

Bernard Arnault of luxury goods group LVMH doubled the 100 million euros pledged by Hollywood actress Salma Hayek's husband Francois-Henri Pinault. Other heavyweight donors include the Bettencourt family - owners of cosmetics giant L'Oreal - who have given 200 million euros and the French oil giant Total who donated 100 million on Tuesday. Multi-billionaire Arnault and fashion tycoon Pinault made their generous pledges after President Emmanuel Macron launched an appeal on Monday.
