Jeff Bezos is no longer the world’s richest person—for now, at least. Luxury goods titan Bernard Arnault has unseated the Amazon kingpin, yet again
“It’s just the beginning.” Arnault is $7 billion richer than Microsoft cofounder Bill Gates, who remains the third-wealthiest person in the world, behind Arnault and Bezos. Gates would be richer than both men had he not given $35.8 billion, and counting, to charity over his lifetime.
Arnault’s LVMH has hit the ground running in 2020. This week, its beauty incubator, Kendo, acquired the rest of Kat Von D’s eponymous beauty brand. And LVMH also bought a tennis ball-sized rough diamond — the second-largest in history — from Lucara Diamond Corp on Wednesday. The 1,758-carat gem is a timely splurge, since LVMH made a $16.2 billion bid to buy iconic jeweler Tiffany & Co. in November. Tiffany shareholders are due to vote on the deal on February 4.
