Macron reportedly earned €2.9 million (about $3.8 million) for his role in the deal. Macron advanced quickly at the company, and in 2012 he brokered Nestlé’s blockbuster $12 billion acquisition of Pfizer’s baby food division. In September 2008 he joined Rothschild & Cie Banque, the French division of the international Rothschild financial group, as an investment banker. Four years later he bought out his government contract for €50,000 (approximately $70,000) to enter the private sector, a move that friends warned would jeopardize any future political ambitions. Macron began his public service career in 2004 as a finance inspector for the French Ministry of Economy and Finance.
French Presidents Valéry Giscard d’Estaing, Jacques Chirac, and François Hollande were all ENA alumni. In 2004 he graduated near the top of his class from the prestigious École Nationale d’Administration (ENA), a school that had attained a reputation as a fast track to political power. In 2001 Macron received a master’s degree in public policy from Sciences Po, as well as a master’s degree in philosophy from Paris Nanterre University. During this time he also served as an editorial assistant for philosopher and historian Paul Ricoeur. Macron completed his baccalauréat at the prestigious Lycée Henri-IV in Paris before studying international policy and public service at the grande école Sciences Po. While there he began a long-term relationship with his drama teacher, Brigitte Trogneux, and the two were later married (2007). He attended a private lycée (secondary school) in Amiens, where he proved to be an exceptionally gifted student. Macron was the eldest of three siblings born to a family of doctors who held politically liberal views. He was reelected in 2022, becoming the first French president in two decades to win a second term. Macron was the first person in the history of the Fifth Republic to win the presidency without the backing of either the Socialists or the Gaullists, and he was France’s youngest head of state since Napoleon I.
