Le Pen's marriage to [[Pierrette Le Pen]] from 29 June 1960 to 18 March 1987 produced three daughters, who gave him eight grandchildren. The break-up of the marriage was somewhat dramatic, with his ex-wife posing nude, to ridicule him, in the French edition of ''[[Playboy]]''.<ref name="challenges-fr-2017-Schwyter">{{cite news |last1=Schwyter |first1=Adrien |title="Dans l'enfer de Montretout": 6 anecdotes incroyables sur l'histoire du clan Le Pen |url=https://www.challenges.fr/election-presidentielle-2017/dans-l-enfer-de-montretout-6-anecdotes-incroyables-sur-l-histoire-du-clan-le-pen_470962 |access-date=5 January 2022 |work=Challenges |date=3 May 2017 |language=fr |quote=Deux semaines plus tard, en juin, le numéro 23 de Playboy est dans les kiosques: Madame Le Pen nue fait le ménage" titre l'hebdomadaire, qui, à une époque où le mot buzz médiatique, n'existe pas encore, a flairé le bon coup et imprimé 250.000 exemplaires, soit 100.000 de plus que la moyenne habituelle....Playboy est même obligé de réimprimer 150.000 exemplaires pour répondre à la demande.}}</ref><ref name="jailu-Beaumont-Montretout">{{cite book |last1=Beaumont |first1=Olivier |title=Dans l'enfer de Montretout |date=2018 |publisher=J'ai lu |isbn=978-2-290-15039-9 |url=https://www.jailu.com/dans-l-enfer-de-montretout/9782290150399 |language=fr |access-date=5 January 2022 |archive-date=5 January 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220105062531/https://www.jailu.com/dans-l-enfer-de-montretout/9782290150399 |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref name="BioRFI"/> [[Marie-Caroline Le Pen (1960)|Marie-Caroline]], one of his daughters, broke with Le Pen, following her husband to join [[Bruno Mégret]], who split from the FN to found the rival [[National Republican Movement|Mouvement National Républicain]] (MNR, National Republican Movement).<ref name="BioRFI"/> The youngest of Le Pen's daughters, [[Marine Le Pen]], is leader of the [[National Rally]].

In 1977, Le Pen inherited a fortune from Hubert Lambert (1934–1976), son of the cement industrialist Leon Lambert (1877–1952), one of three sons of Lambert Cement founder Hilaire Lambert. Hubert Lambert was a political supporter of Le Pen and a [[monarchist]] as well.<ref name=BioRFI/> Lambert's [[Will (law)|will]] provided 30 million francs ({{Inflation|FR|4573470|1977|fmt=eq|cursign=€|r=-6}}) to Le Pen, as well as his opulent three-storey 11-room mansion at 8 Parc de Montretout, [[Saint-Cloud]], in the western suburbs of Paris. The home had been built by [[Napoleon III]] for his chief of staff [[Jean-François Mocquard]].<ref name="BioRFI">[http://www.rfi.fr/francais/actu/articles/081/article_45894.asp Le Pen, son univers impitoyable] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120224022357/http://www.rfi.fr/francais/actu/articles/081/article_45894.asp |date=24 February 2012 }}, ''[[Radio France Internationale]]'', 1 September 2006 {{in lang|fr}}</ref><ref name="nouvelobsricheproprietaire">{{cite news|title=Marine Le Pen, une riche propriétaire (comme son père)|url=http://tempsreel.nouvelobs.com/politique/20160127.OBS3441/marine-le-pen-une-riche-proprietaire-comme-son-pere.html|access-date=7 October 2016|work=Le Nouvel Observateur|date=27 January 2016}}</ref> With his wife, he also owned a two-storey townhouse on the Rue Hortense in [[Rueil-Malmaison]] and another house in his hometown of [[La Trinité-sur-Mer]] in [[Brittany]].<ref name="nouvelobsricheproprietaire"/>

In the early 1980s, Le Pen's personal security was assured by KO International Company, a subsidiary of VHP Security, a [[private security]] firm, and an alleged front organisation for SAC, the ''[[Service d'Action Civique]]'' (Civic Action Service), a Gaullist organisation. SAC allegedly employed figures with organized crime backgrounds and from the far-right movement.<ref name="RFI">[http://www.rfi.fr/actufr/articles/072/article_40330.asp Le général croate Gotovina arrêté en Espagne], [[Radio France International|RFI]], 8 December 2005 {{in lang|fr}}</ref><ref name="Hum">[https://www.humanite.fr/journal/2005-12-10/2005-12-10-819689 Le chauffeur de l'homme de la Question] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071118130606/http://www.humanite.fr/journal/2005-12-10/2005-12-10-819689 |date=18 November 2007 }}, ''[[L'Humanité]]'', 10 December 2005 {{in lang|fr}}</ref>
