Philippe Junot, who "works with banks," as Princess Grace puts it, is the son of a wealthy deputy mayor of Paris and onetime chairman of the French division of Westinghouse. Junot junior's various entrepreneurial activities included a stint in California with a fast-food drive-in establishment called Jack in the Box and vague doings as a financial adviser to clients in Paris and Montreal.
