Europe’s richest man, Bernard Arnault, currently has a net worth of $170 billion according to data from the Bloomberg billionaire index, revealing the French billionaire has earned $55.5 billion since the start of this year, as the global economy recovers relatively from COVID-19.

Bernard Arnault, the world’s third-richest man is the Chief Executive Officer of LVMH, the world’s largest luxury goods group, where he holds a 47.5% stake.
The majority of the French man’s fortune is derived from a 97.5% stake in Christian Dior with the luxury fashion house controlling 41.2% of LVMH, according to Christian Dior’s 2020 annual report.

The CEO of Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy (LVMH) holds about $9.43 billion in cash.

Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy (LVMH) affirmed its hold on the world’s luxury ecosystem when it completed a deal for American jeweller, Tiffany & Co., for about $15.8 billion, believed to be the largest luxury brand acquisition ever.

The luxury giant is behind drink labels Hennessy cognac and Moët & Chandon Champagne including fashion brands, Christian Dior, Louis Vuitton, Kenzo, and Loewe.
