surmenok · x · 2026-07-27
Bernard Arnault published a long public reply to Le Monde after the paper’s six-month investigation into him and LVMH.
- He mocks the paper’s framing of him as the “last royal family of France” and says the investigation only spotlighted what it wanted.
- The letter defends LVMH’s role in French luxury, manufacturing, jobs, apprenticeships, and tax contributions.
- Arnault also pushes back on the paper’s focus on family, media ties, China, and governance, ending with a pointed reminder that LVMH has contributed more than €40 billion to the public treasury.
