Delphine Arnault

Delphine Arnault is the eldest child and only daughter of LVMH chairman and CEO Bernard Arnault, whose fortune of around $170 billion regularly makes him one of the world’s richest men. In 2019 she became the youngest member—and second woman—to join the LVMH executive committee. Last year, she was named chairman and CEO of the group’s second-biggest brand, Christian Dior, having worked her way up the ranks of her father’s company, beginning in 2000. Since her promotion, LVMH has posted record revenue of €86.2 billion ($95.3 billion) in 2023, which the company credits, in part, to Dior’s “remarkable performance.” Arnault’s five children all hold important positions at LVMH, but Delphine and her brother Antoine are currently favorites to inherit their father’s corner office.
