Bernard Arnault said a wind of optimism is blowing through the US after Donald Trump’s inauguration as president, in contrast to his native France, where the government is seeking to raise corporate taxes and unemployment is increasing.

Bernard Arnault, the billionaire boss of the world's biggest luxury conglomerate LVMH, has picked a fight with the French government by suggesting that companies could flee France for the United States to escape a planned tax hike,

"It's clear that we are being strongly pushed by the American authorities to continue to build out our presence," Bernard Arnault told reporters.

He’s someone Trump really looks up to and wants to make happy,” a source said of LVMH CEO Bernard Arnault, the wealthiest man in France.

With the economic outlook in France looking grim, Arnault said LVMH, which owns Louis Vuitton, Dior, Fendi and Moët & Chandon, is "seriously" considering opening more factories in the United States. Such a move would help the company to avoid the tariffs Trump has promised to enact on foreign goods sold in the United States.

Bernard Arnault said he spoke with Mark Zuckerberg about Meta layoffs, which the LVMH boss described as workers being "promoted outwards."

The LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton titan had prime seating near former Presidents Bill Clinton, George Bush and Barack Obama.

Government spokesperson Sophie Primas replied saying that 'everybody must do their bit,' although she conceded that she understood his 'anger.'

From the color of their neckties to the fit of their suits, male politicians can be intentional with their choices.

LVMH chief Bernard Arnault and Reliance Industries chairman Mukesh Ambani—the world’s fifth- and eighteenth-wealthiest people—attended President Donald Trump’s inauguration events Monday, marking a pair of surprise billionaire appearances at the event attended by a cadre of moguls worth well over $1 trillion.

The luxury goods group headed by Bernard Arnault ends its 2024 financial year with sales of €84.7 billion, down 2% on 2023.

A who's who of tech titans, business magnates, and global elites attended President Donald Trump’s 2025 inauguration, including Musk, Bezos, and Zuckerberg.
