Challenges, the French business magazine, puts Jacques-Antoine Granjon's fortune at about €1.3 billion in its 2026 ranking, where he is 107th in France. The figure rests on his stake in Veepee, the flash-sales group he launched as vente-privee.com in January 2001.
The same ranking tracked him from €300 million in 2008, when he was 138th, to €600 million in 2010 and €1.05 billion in 2016. In 2017 he reached €1.6 billion and 49th place, and the figure stayed at €1.6 billion through 2020.
It then eased to €1.4 billion in 2021 and 2022, €1.3 billion in 2023 and 2024, and €1.2 billion in 2025 before returning to €1.3 billion in 2026. His rank fell from 49th in 2017 to 111th in 2025 as other fortunes grew.
Behind the number is a company in which Summit Partners bought 20% in 2007 and Qatar Investment Authority became a shareholder in 2014. Veepee had sales of €3.2 billion including VAT in 2024.
