THE BILLIONAIRE

Orange Line_Heavy width.png

PROFITING FROM YOUR PLAYLISTS, Violating Human Rights, DESTROYING THE ENVIRONMENT

Every time you stream a song by Ariana Grande, Kendrick Lamar, Billie Eilish, and thousands of other Universal Music Group artists, you're lining Vincent Bolloré’s pockets – a French billionaire who built his fortune on corruption, money laundering, land theft, environmental destruction, sexual exploitation, and human rights abuses across West Africa.

​

Bolloré went from amassing illegal profits to building his media empire — and is currently the largest shareholder of UMG with 28% of the pie.

 

And Restitution for Africa, a coalition representing 11 organizations from 6 African countries, is leading the Blacklist Bolloré campaign to fight back. 

 

You should too.

Demand Bolloré divest his Universal Music Group shares

The Global Billionaire Accountability Project is led by The Restitution for Africa Collective (CRAF) to expose how extreme wealth and corporate power can enable exploitation, corruption, and impunity on a global scale. While many billionaires operate behind closed doors, their influence can be felt in our economies, media, governments and even our music.

​

One prominent example of unchecked power is Vincent Bolloré, a French billionaire whose companies have been accused of facilitating a network of bribery, human rights abuses, environmental destruction, money laundering, press interference and more. His empire stretches from African plantations to global newsrooms and pop music.

​

Victims, watchdogs, and community leaders are speaking up to ensure this story isn’t buried like so many before it.

​

This campaign begins with music, but it doesn’t end there. Our goal is to expose exploitation and unlawful behavior among the world’s billionaire oligarchs and hold them accountable. 

​

The era of silence is over.
