LVMH
Restructuring of Arnault family's holding companies refocus siblings' roles

The Arnault family's stake in LVMH, long held through three nested companies, will be consolidated into a single holding company in early 2027. This simplification has knock down effects for the respective roles of family members.

Hermès affair
When Éric Freymond invested LVMH funds with Bernard Madoff

The questioning this summer of LVMH veteran Jean-Jacques Guiony by the judge investigating Nicolas Puech's missing Hermès shares threw up some new revelations. The former CFO of Bernard Arnault's group addressed among other things LVMH's links with the principal suspect in the Hermès affair, Éric Freymond.

LVMH executive committee member quizzed by judge over missing Hermès shares

After focusing on the role of the Swiss financier Eric Freymond and his entourage, the financial division of the Paris judicial court, which for the last two years has been investigating the disappearance of Nicolas Puech's shares in Hermès, has now turned its attention to LVMH. This summer, the investigating judge interviewed Jean-Jacques Guiony, who was the group's CFO at the time and now runs the luxury giant's wines and spirits division, Moët Hennessy.

Potential godsend for Dominicans in sale of Paris's most expensive mansion

Potential buyers of the luxury Rohan-Montbazon townhouse in the heart of the French capital have been put off by tensions among the owners and the poor state of certain parts of the property. But if the sale does go through, a Catholic congregation will stand to pocket several million euros.

How Richemont's owners ringfenced their holdings

Alongside the Arnaults with LVMH, the Ruperts are the only family in the luxury sector to have structured control of their group, Richemont, across multiple holding companies registered in various territories. These arrangements, perfected over several years, ensure the clan's continued dominance and are designed to facilitate the eventual handover of the chairmanship from Johann to his son Anton.
