Nepo babies have been all the rage lately, but for Bernard Arnault, it’s just how he does business – in January, his daughter Delphine became CEO of Dior while Frédéric became CEO of Tag Heuer at 25

Antoine has launched campaigns at LV with Angelina Jolie and Bono before landing the role of CEO at Christian Dior SE, and Alexandre, at Tiffany & Co., recently had dinner at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago

There are Hollywood nepo babies ... and then there are billionaire nepo babies.

LVMH boss Bernard Arnault, the world’s richest person, just saw his wealth surpass US$200 billion. His family seem to be joining in on the ride as each kid has already secured a high-up position in the company.

Bernard has five children working under the LVMH umbrella. Delphine became CEO of Dior in January, while Frédéric was named CEO of Tag Heuer aged just 25.

Here’s what to know about the world’s current richest person and his potential successors at the fashion conglomerate.

Bernard Arnault is currently the world’s richest person with a net worth of about US$201 billion, according to estimates by Bloomberg. He’s only the third person to surpass the US$200 billion mark following tech moguls Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk, both of whom have since seen their wealth fall.

Bernard co-founded LVMH in the 1980s, and is its CEO and chair. The French luxury conglomerate owns a range of brands covering fashion, perfume, jewellery, watches, and alcohol including Marc Jacobs, Givenchy, Moët & Chandon, Fenty Beauty and Tiffany & Co.

In February, Bernard’s daughter Delphine became CEO of Dior. But it’s not just Delphine who’s risen up LVMH’s ranks. All four of Bernard’s sons work at LVMH and its brands, too.
