Chanel - Company Profile, Information, Business Description, History, Background Information on Chanel. History of Chanel Chanel, worth an estimated $1.5 billion, is one of the largest companies in the $4 billion global perfume industry. Chanel started its success with the introduction of Chanel No. 5 perfume, which continued to be a top selling perfume into the 1990s. The company has since diversified its offerings beyond perfumes to include designer clothes and accessories, which are sold in department stores and Chanel boutiques around the world. The company boasts a rich history rife with intrigue, wealth, and scandal. By the 1990s, the Wertheimer family of France had maintained controlling interest in Chanel for over 100 years.
Though the Wertheimer family would control the finances of Chanel from its inception, the impetus and creative vision for the company came from Coco Chanel. During the 1920s and 1930s Parfums Chanel thrived. The friction between Coco Chanel and the Wertheimer family stemmed from Coco Chanel's dissatisfaction with the terms of their original agreement.
