Bernard Arnault Complete Bio & Career

Considered one of the world's ultimate tastemakers, Bernard Arnault oversees an empire of 70 brands including Dom Perignon, Bulgari, Louis Vuitton, Sephora and Tag Heuer, as well as 3,700 retail stores, all under the umbrella of $34 billion (sales) luxury goods powerhouse LVMH, where he has been CEO since 1989. "My job is to create desire through innovation, quality, and craftsmanship," he said. The bulk of his fortune is tied up in Christian Dior stock, through which Arnault holds a controlling interest in LVMH. He also has billions of dollars in LVMH directly, in supermarket chain Carrefour and in Hermes. He got his start in luxury in 1984 when he paid $15 million to buy a business that included Christian Dior (his family owned a successful construction company at the time). An art patron and collector, he is the visionary behind the $135 million Frank Gehry-designed Foundation Louis Vuitton museum in Paris' Bois de Boulogne, that opened in October 2014.

The museum, which displays selections from LVMH's vast trove of contemporary art and his own personal art holdings, in addition to other exhibitions, attracted 1.2 million visitors in its first year.
