Bernard Arnault became the richest man on the planet by hours, unseated Elon Musk in the Forbes list

A fortune of 184.9 billion dollars once again made the Frenchman Bernard Arnault, president and CEO of the luxury giant LVMH, the richest man in the world according to Forbes magazine.

This list is updated in real time and depends a lot on the stock price that determines the price of the shares of their companies. Musk was precisely affected by a fall in Tesla shares on the New York Stock Exchange.

Arnault’s position lasted only a few hours since the list closed with a patrimony of 184.900 million dollars from Elon Musk while the Frenchman accounted for 184.700 million.

The Louis Vuitton owner had already been considered the richest in the world for a few hours in May 2021.

Arnault’s fortune has benefited in recent months from an improvement in the results of LVMH, world number one in the luxury sector, which obtained a net profit of 12,000 million euros (12,620 million dollars, according to current exchange rates) in 2021.

The third place is for the Indian businessman Gautam Adani with a fortune of 134.8 billion dollars, while Jeff Bezos was displaced to fourth place.

Since September 2021, Musk had not left the first place. (YO)
