Seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton recently debuted his first campaign with LVMH brand Dior, after being announced as their brand ambassador earlier this year.

Luxury watchmakers Tag Hauer are also included under the LVMH umbrella, with the Swiss company expected to take over from Rolex as the official timepiece of F1.

The Times report that Moet & Chandon champagne is set to replace Italian sparkling wine Ferrari Trento on the podium, with Louis Vuitton providing trophy cases in a deal with around $100m a year.

Despite this successful coup, Arnault has tumbled down the list of the world’s richest men into fifth, due to the company’s stock price dropping by 20%, 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, and falling below the likes of Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg.
