Arnault is the leader of LVMH, a group that owns brands such as Dior, Louis Vuitton and Moet & Chandon. Bloomberg reports that his fortune has grown by nearly $ 32 billion this year, mostly out of some on the Billionaires index.
At writing time, Arnault is $ 6 billion behind Microsoft founder Gates worth $ 106 billion and $ 19 billion behind Amazon's CEO Bezos, the richest man in modern history.
Arnault was among the crops of billionaires raising money to repair the Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris. Arnault promised $ 200 million ($ 224 million), although a senior Notre-Dame press release told AP last week that the big donations from billionaires Arnault had not yet happened.
