He Bought Louis Vuitton and turned LVMH into an Empire

Bernard Arnault is one of the richest men alive. Forbes has named him one of the world's 100 greatest living business minds. And considering that he oversees a portfolio of over 70 brands and nearly 3,900 retail stores, that doesn’t seem to be an understatement.

As you can guess, amassing so many companies doesn’t happen without ruffling some feathers, though. And while Arnault was once a recluse who got his start in engineering and construction, he eventually made his fortune through brutal takeovers in a bid to collect as many luxury consumer brands as possible. Curious to find out how he turned LVMH into the empire that it is today and learn some useful business strategy lessons along the way? Then don’t miss this video!
