Raymond Patenôtre (July 31, 1900 – June 19, 1951) was an American-born French billionaire heir, media mogul and politician. He acquired La Sarthe, L’Écho républicain de l’Ouest, Le Régional de l’Ouest, Le Petit Var and Petit Niçois. He served as a member of the Chamber of Deputies from 1928 to 1936, representing Seine-et-Oise. Through his media empire, Patenôtre promoted the early career of Pierre Laval, who went on to serve as the French Prime Minister from 1942 to 1944.
