LVMH, controlled by Bernard Arnault’s family, owns Louis Vuitton and Dior.
LVMH is the short name for LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton SE. The group was formed in 1987 through the merger of Moët et Chandon and Hennessy with Louis Vuitton. It later assembled a broad collection of luxury maisons across fashion, wines and spirits, perfumes and cosmetics, watches and jewelry, and selective retail.
Its fashion and leather-goods brands include Louis Vuitton, Christian Dior, Fendi, and Celine. The group also owns Bulgari, Tiffany & Co., Dom Pérignon, and Sephora. Individual brands retain distinct identities while benefiting from the parent group’s global resources and distribution.
Bernard Arnault has led LVMH for decades, and his family’s holding structure has made the company a major subject in discussions of global wealth and corporate value. LVMH’s market capitalization is influenced by consumer demand, exchange rates, luxury pricing, and expectations for long-term brand strength.
