LVMH launch ‘unique’ partnership with F1

The LVMH Group is led by CEO Bernard Arnault, who previously stated he would be unhappy if he ‘was not the richest man in the world’, and has now praised their union with the pinnacle of motorsport.

“The people, the quest for excellence and the passion for innovation are at the heart of the activity of our Maisons and Formula 1,” he said.

“In motorsport as in fashion, watchmaking or wines and spirits, every detail counts on the path to success.

“Both in our workshops and on circuits around the world, it is this incessant search to break boundaries that inspires our vision, and this is the meaning that we want to bring to this great and unique partnership between Formula 1 and our Group.”

Despite their successful history, Arnault has tumbled down the list of the world’s richest men, now placing fifth, due to the company’s stock price dropping by 20 per cent, which resulted in a $54 billion cut of his net worth.

According to Fortune Arnault’s net worth is down $30 billion, making him the biggest loser on the list to-date in 2024, falling below the likes of Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg.
