As the son of a French billionaire, Arnault isn’t necessarily a stranger to the public eye.

His father,Bernard Arnault, is the head of luxury goods conglomerate LVMH and is one of the wealthiest people in the world with a net worth of over $180 billion, perForbes.

Bernard co-founded the company in the 1980s. Since then, it has become a family business, with all five of his children, including Arnault, holding various positions.

Arnault, who graduated with a degree in computational and applied mathematics from École Polytechnique in 2018, per hisLinkedIn, has followed in his father’s footsteps in the luxury jewelry business.

He began working for TAG Heuer, one of LVMH’s brands, shortly before graduating and was appointed CEO of the company in July 2020.

Arnault also told the outlet how conversations during childhood paved the way for him and his siblings to become involved in the business.

“Ninety-five percent of the time, we talk about business,” he said. “It was always like that. Growing up we talked about studies a lot, sport, music, politics, but business was still the main topic of discussion.”

In January 2024, he stepped into the role of CEO of LVMH Watches & Jewelry.

He is a pianist — and once played with the Moscow Philharmonic Orchestra

While Arnault has taken after his dad in the business world, he also shares a passion for music with his mom, classical pianistHélène Mercier.

Arnault enjoys playing the piano in his spare time and toldThe New York Timesthat “music is like meditation.”

“It allows me to focus on something else," he said.

Although Arnault once performed with the Moscow Philharmonic Orchestra, he told the outlet that “it’s hard to practice enough" considering his business career.
