Bernard Arnault’s LVMH single-handedly dominates the wine world with four of the most valuable brands


Bernard Arnault owns a lot of wonderful things. As a man worth nearly $194 billion, the best thing he owns is his company, LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton. And as the Chairman and CEO of LVMH, the French tycoon owns all of the top four most valuable wine and Champagne brands in 2024. This incredible fact was revealed in a new report from brand valuation consultancy Brand Finance.
