Paul Dupuy was a prominent French media heir and socialite who wielded immense behind-the-scenes influence in 1970s Paris. In 1968, he leveraged his elite connections to co-found the Maxim’s Business Club (MBC) alongside heirs from the Poniatowski and Hermès families. Based out of the world-famous Maxim's restaurant, this highly exclusive private circle was designed as a modern networking hub for the nation's rising stars. Under Dupuy's leadership, the club regularly hosted high-profile debate luncheons that brought together top-tier corporate executives, powerful diplomats, celebrities, and ambitious politicians. By blending serious political discourse with a witty, lighthearted Parisian charm, Dupuy successfully transformed the MBC into one of the most influential neutral territories in modern French political history.
