NEW YORK – Billionaire and CEO of luxury goods company LVMH, Bernard Arnault has again replaced Tesla CEO Elon Musk as the richest person in the world.
According to Forbes magazine, the net worth of Bernard Arnault and his family has soared to 207.8 billion US dollars. Meanwhile, Elon Musk's net worth reached 204.5 billion US dollars.
The return of Bernard Arnault to the top position of the richest people in the world cannot be separated from the increase in sales of several luxury goods, including Louis Vuitton, Dior and Tiffany, reaching almost 24 billion euros or around 26 billion US dollars in the last three months.
Sales at LVMH's fashion and leather goods division, which includes its biggest labels, Vuitton and Dior, rose 9 percent during the fourth quarter of 2023, slightly below expectations for 10 percent growth.
LVMH also posted growth in sales of perfumes, cosmetics, watches and jewellery, with wine and spirits the only unit to experience a decline, down 4 percent for the full year.
Tesla Stock Falls
Meanwhile, Tesla shares fell more than 12 percent on Thursday (25/1/2024) after Elon Musk warned that growth in sales of its electric vehicles would slow in 2024.
Tesla shares suffered their sharpest percentage loss in more than a year, with $80 billion in market value wiped out on the day.
This pushed its market capitalization loss for the month to around 210 billion US dollars.
