Know about 72-year-old Bernard Arnault, who became the richest person behind Elon Musk

Paris, December 13, 2022, Tuesday
Forbes has released a list of the world's richest people, in which French billionaire Bernard Arnault has become the world's richest man, surpassing Elon Musk. However, there is no special distance between the two billionaires, so there may be changes in the near future. However, it is certain that Starlink and Tesla owner Elon Musk, who has been wearing the crown of the richest man for a long time, has lost his crown.
Elon Musk's net worth is 181.3 billion dollars. Bernard is worth $5.2 billion more than him. As of 2021, Musk has overtaken Amazon's Jeb Bezos as the richest man. Bezos' net worth has been steadily declining to $113.8 billion. Hence it is fourth in the race for number one. Bezos was backed by Indian industrialist Gautam Adani. Gautam Adani's net worth is 134.6 billion dollars. The chairman of Reliance Industries occupies the eighth position with 92.8 billion dollars.

The number one billionaire Bernard Arnault is the CEO of LVMH Moet Hennessy, the world's largest luxury goods company. The Arnault family holds 47.5 percent stake in it. This luxury house has more than 70 brands. Bernad entered the luxury goods market in 1984. He acquired a textile group that also included Christian Dior.
Terminator was named after laying off 9 thousand employees at once. After four years, the company was sold and the controlling stake of LVMH was bought. His art collection includes modern and contemporary paintings including paintings by Picasso and Warhol. At one time, the American jewelry company Tiffany & Company was acquired for 15.8 billion dollars. The Tiffany company was established in 1837.

Bernard was born on March 5, 1949 in Robex, France. His full name is Bernard Jean Etienne Arnault. Father Jean Leon Arnault was a manufacturer. Bernard initially attended Roubaix. Lys Maksens graduated from Vander Merch University. In 1971, he obtained a degree in engineering from Ecole Polytechnique Pasleau, Paris.
After his studies, he joined his father's civil engineering company Ferret Savinel. Advising his father to make some changes in the company, the company began to progress rapidly. In 1976, his father's company gained 40 million dollars due to Bernard's efforts. The father recognized the qualities of the son and created the real estate company Ferinal. In 1981, French Socialists came to power during the change of power in France. The government expelled the Arnault family from France. After deportation, the family members settled in America.
A small man gave a big inspiration

Once Bernard was forced to go out in a cab for some work. There was no particular information about the place where he had to go. The cab driver realized that the man was not particularly familiar with America. The cab driver asks if you don't belong here. A natural conversation ensued between the two in which Bernard said yes I am from France. Bernad asked the cab driver what do you know about France?
The cab driver confesses that he does not know much about France but has heard the name of Christian Dior. One thing struck home in Bernard's mind that the identity of France is fashion products. He returned with his family in 1983 when the political situation changed. This Christian Dior was a brand of the same Boussac company that bought them.
