Vermögen: LVMH-Gründer Arnault gehört nicht mehr zu den zehn reichsten Menschen der Welt
Das Vermögen des LVMH-Gründers Bernard Arnault ist seit Jahresbeginn um 65 Milliarden Dollar gesunken. Erstmals sind alle zehn Plätze der Rangliste mit US-Amerikanern besetzt.
The wealthiest European, Bernard Arnault, no longer features among the world's ten richest individuals, according to Bloomberg's financial news agency. The French luxury goods mogul slipped out of the top ten, a trend that has resulted in an overwhelmingly American-dominated ranking, primarily from the technology sector. As of Thursday, Arnault's wealth dropped to $143 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
This places him behind Warren Buffett, the 96-year-old philanthropist and chairman of Berkshire Hathaway. Leading the list is Elon Musk, with an astronomical fortune of $918.8 billion, followed by other technology entrepreneurs such as Larry Page, Jeff Bezos, Sergey Brin, and Michael Dell. For the first time since the wealth ranking's inception in 2012, all ten positions are occupied by U.S. citizens.
Arnault's wealth has plummeted significantly this year, losing $65 billion – more than any other among the world's 500 richest individuals. The conflict in the Middle East has severely impacted his businesses, particularly in revenue-generating locations like Dubai, where demand for LVMH brands like Dior, Louis Vuitton, Tiffany, and premium alcohol brands such as Dom Pérignon and Hennessy has diminished.
