Groupe Madrigall took over a majority share in Éditions Gallimard in the late 1990s. At the end of the 1990s, the Gallimard family repurchased shares from two of the company's three main corporate shareholders, namely the Italian publisher Einaudi (then owned by the holding company of Silvio Berlusconi, Fininvest via Arnoldo Mondadori Editore) and the French media agency Havas. Havas was forced to sell its shares after it was ruled that Havas's merger with Vivendi rendered it a direct competitor. As a result, Madrigall had a 60 percent majority holding in Éditions Gallimard. In January 2003, Madrigall repurchased the Gallimard holdings of five other outside shareholders for {{€|92,000,000}}. As a result, Madrigall had a 98 percent majority holding.{{Cite web |date=27 June 2014 |title=Global Publishing Leaders 2014: Gallimard |url=http://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/industry-news/publisher-news/article/63057-global-publishing-leaders-2014-gallimard.html |access-date=3 April 2021 |website=Publishers Weekly}}

In September 2012, Madrigall acquired Groupe Flammarion, previously owned by the Italian RCS MediaGroup, for {{€|251,000,000}}.{{Cite news |date=5 September 2012 |title=Le rachat de Flammarion par Gallimard officialisé |language=fr |work=Le Monde |url=https://www.lemonde.fr/culture/article/2012/09/05/le-rachat-de-flammarion-par-gallimard-officialise_1756005_3246.html |access-date=3 April 2021}}

In October 2013, the French conglomerate LVMH acquired a stake of up to 9.5% in Groupe Madrigall to the tune of {{€|30,000,000}}, in particular to pay off Groupe Madrigall's debt after the purchase of Flammarion in 2012.{{Cite news |last=Oury |first=Antoine |date=3 February 2014 |title=Antoine Gallimard détaille la transition de Flammarion vers Madrigall |language=fr |work=ActuaLitté |url=https://actualitte.com/article/51423/distribution/antoine-gallimard-detaille-la-transition-de-flammarion-vers-madrigall |access-date=3 April 2021}}
