Bernard Arnault Success Story

Beginning 

We need not emphasize on how the French have been the face of the luxury fashion brands from since the 19^th century. Among those Frenchmen who were responsible for the fashion revolution, Bernard Arnault stands out for the reasons obvious. The man who owns Louis Vuitton, Christian Dior, Givenchy and Dom Perignon, some of the most precious French luxury fashion houses, is someone whose story is definitely worth knowing.

It is probably a given that someone like that would be incredibly rich, because Bernard Arnault also happens to be the 13^th richest man in the world. Also for the record, he is the richest man of France and one of the richest men in the whole of Europe.

Arnault must have had business in his blood, what with his father Jean Arnault being a businessman who owned a civil engineering company. After getting done with his engineering in the year 1971, Bernard Arnault, as expected, joined his father’s business.  Soon after, he brought about some remarkable changes to the establishment. He convinced his father to sell the company and from there on, they focused entirely on real estate, which was a wise move back then.

Career

By the year 1979, Bernard was already heading the company. He completely focused on holiday accommodation through his company until 1984. It was only then that the luxury clothing industry caught Bernard’s eye when he bought Financier Agache, which was by then already selling luxury goods.
