About Laurent Grimod de La Reynière
- Laurent Grimod de La Reynière (11 February 1734 – 26 December 1793) was a French financier and fermier général.
- He was the son of Antoine-(Gaspard) Grimod, seigneur de La Reynière (1690 – 9 February 1754), another fermier général, and his third wife Marie-Madeleine Mazard (28 May 1716 – 23 February 1773), of whom a pastel portrait was executed by Maurice-(Quentin) de La Tour in 1751. He was the husband of Françoise-(Elisabeth) de Jarente (the niece of the bishop of Orléans), whom he married on 1 February 1753.
