The Lion of Luxury

Despite being the world's richest man, Bernard Arnault, CEO of LVMH, is not well-known outside Milan, Paris, London, and other capitals of the global luxury market.

Arnault is a complex character. His empire includes Louis Vuitton, Dior, Tiffany's, Givenchy, Fendi, and many of the world's most creative brands. Yet, even now, the Frenchman maintains a well-earned reputation for ruthlessness in a market better known for men's suits and women's handbags.

The Acquired team did an excellent job telling this Shakespearean story of ambition, betrayal, and power. Enjoy!
