MacAndrews & Forbes Holdings Inc.

PROFILE Through MacAndrews & Forbes Holdings, financier Ron Perelman is focused on makeup and money. The holding company has investments in an array of public and private companies, most notably Revlon (the #2 cosmetics company in the US), Golden State Bancorp (the nation's #2 thrift), M&F Worldwide (licorice flavors), and WeddingChannel.com. Perelman is intent on reversing the fortunes of Revlon which has been hobbled by debt and dwindling market share; his stake in Sunbeam (small appliances and Coleman camping equipment) became worthless when that company declared bankruptcy in 2001. He did make a hefty profit when Consolidated Cigar Holdings (the #1 US cigar maker) was sold to French tobacco maker Seita in early 1999.  COMPETITION The Estée Lauder Companies Inc.
