Bernard Arnault has become the second richest man in the world knocking Elon Musk from the position. There is a huge demand for luxury goods and this has propelled him forward though he is still several billion behind Jeff Bezos, the richest man in the world from quite a while. The man behind luxury bags and champagne has overtaken Musk as the demand for expensive goods is increasing during the pandemic. Some of the rich have become richer and are spending these riches.
Bernard Arnault is not new to occupying a top spot in the world’s richest persons list. In December 2019 he was the richest man for a brief period. Then again in January 2020, he was once again the richest man in the world. Then he fell to third position, when Elon Musk’s fortunes soared. Now, he is back at Number 2 after the result of the company’s surge in revenue in the first quarter was released last week. This increase brought him back to the second position in the Forbes Real-Time Billionaires List.
Bernard Arnault is the owner of LVMH. This company owns several luxury brands of champagne and fashion brands. Some of these include alcohol labels such as Moet & Chandon and Hennessy. The fashion brands owned by LMVH are Louis Vuitton, Loewe, Kenzo and Christian Dior.
