Who is Bernard Arnault, one of the world's richest individuals? He was born on March 5, 1949, in Roubaix, a town very close to the Belgium border in France. His full name is Bernard Jean Étienne Arnault. His father, Jean Leon Arnault, was a businessman, and his mother was Marie-Josephe Savinel. Bernard's father took over and eventually became the owner of the construction company Ferret Savinel, which belonged to his father-in-law. This means that Arnault grew up in a well-off family. When he took over the family business like his father, he was destined for a significant role.
He completed high school at Maxence Van Der Meersch and then studied engineering at the world-famous university, École Polytechnique, graduating in 1971. Although Arnault was studying engineering, it was expected that he would manage his father's construction company and a substantial family fortune. However, his aspirations were different.
Arnault began taking piano lessons from a young age and was involved in various sports. He grew up in privileged conditions, with a high standard of living. Here's another detail to mention: his mother was a big fan of Dior. She used Diorissimo brand perfume, which introduced Bernard to luxury brands.
This exposure to luxury and the lasting impression it made on him began to capture his attention from a very early age. However, right after graduating from university, he joined his father's construction company, Ferret-Savinel. While working as an engineer there, he also planned how to expand the company. After persistent efforts, he convinced his father in 1976 to change the company's focus. The company quickly shifted its attention to the rapidly growing real estate sector.
Through hard work, he made the LVHM brand known worldwide. He has consistently ranked at the top of the world's richest individuals list for years, competing with figures like Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk.
