ONE OF A KIND
BERNARD ARNAULT
AMBASSADOR OF FRENCH HERITAGE AND FRENCH CULTURE
Vision, selectivity, taste–that is what makes him one of the top luxury tastemakers in the world. Known as the wolf in cashmere, Bernard Arnault has acquired this moniker
from his style of business acquisitions. He is the chairman and chief executive of LVMH Moët Hennessy - Louis Vuitton SE, LVMH, controlling some of the world’s most sought-after brands. His forte is to breathe
new life into luxury classics while maintaining their high status. He started with Christian Dior in 1984. Now the proprietor of over 75 luxury brands, his company also includes: Christian Dior, Celine, Fendi, Loro Piana, Bulgari and Louis Vuitton. His reward? Playing the ratings game with the top five billionaires of the world. He briefly surpassed Amazon’s Jeff Bezos’ net worth after acquiring Tiffany & Co.
