A wealthy man encountered in Marie's Paris social circle in May 1880. Marie describes him tartly as "Iturbe (l'homme aux 27 millions et à la grimace)" — Iturbe (the man with twenty-seven million and the grimace) — at a gathering on 15 May 1880. The name "Iturbe" suggests Basque, Spanish, or Latin American origin; the fortune of 27 million francs would place him among the seriously wealthy.
