Bernard Arnault Becomes World’s 3rd-Richest Again—Overtaking Mark Zuckerberg

Bernard Arnault

The two billionaires have traded ranks among the world’s richest multiple times in recent weeks.

Bernard Arnault, the billionaire chairman and CEO of the global luxury goods company LVMH, has surpassed Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg as the third-richest person in the world, as LVMH’s shares continue a multi-day surge.


Key Facts

Arnault has a net worth of about $188.6 billion as of around 11:20 a.m. EDT, following an increase of $4.54 billion (2.3%), according to Forbes’ Real-Time Billionaires List.

Zuckerberg has an estimated net worth of about $184.7 billion after it decreased by about $100 million.

Shares of LVMH—a conglomerate that features brands like Louis Vuitton and Tiffany & Co.—have increased by 2.6% to over $675, boosting Arnault’s net worth, as Meta’s were down slightly (0.1%).

Arnault is behind Amazon founder Jeff Bezos for the title of the world’s second-richest person, who has an estimated net worth of $195.7 billion, while Elon Musk remains the world’s wealthiest person with an estimated net worth of $247.4 billion.

Big Number

52%. That’s how much Meta’s shares have increased on the year so far, following a recent surge after the company reported a 73% increase in second-quarter profit. LVMH’s shares are down 5.7%, despite surging by as much as 22% through March 22, after an 8% jump over the last five days of trading.

Key Background

Musk and Arnault have swapped places as the world’s third- and fourth-richest person multiple times in recent weeks. Zuckerberg overtook Arnault on Aug. 6, two days before Arnault surpassed him, though the Meta founder held the third-richest spot for just over a week before Monday. The top of Forbes’ billionaire tracker has also shuffled several times, as Arnault held the title of the world’s richest person earlier this year before Musk—who took over the second-place spot from Bezos in May—overtook him. Bezos and Arnault have also traded spots as the world’s second-wealthiest, including a similar back-and-forth in June.

  The Synagogue Church of all Nations (SCOAN) has countered the BBC documentary on the late Temitope Babatunde Joshua, known as TB Joshua, founder of SCOAN. SCOAN described the documentary against TB Joshua as unfounded, and that the characters interviewed in the report were unknown to the church. The church, in a statement signed by its Public Affairs Director, Mr Dare Adejumo, said the statement was aimed at disabusing public minds from the report. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that the BBC released a highly controversial and damning documentary on the late TB Joshua on Monday, accusing him of various crimes, including rape, against some members. SCOAN said, “BBC World Services investigative unit, code-named Africa Eye, came out this week with weird and strange episodes of atrocities against the late founder of SCOAN.” It said that to investigate and publish or broadcast reports was a central kernel of journalism, but to do so outside the ethics and fundamental principles

  The NBA has suspended former San Antonio Spurs guard  Joshua Primo   for four games   ... after it says it found he exposed his private parts to multiple women. The league announced the ban on Friday morning ... saying an investigation into the free agent revealed he had "engaged in inappropriate and offensive behavior." NBA officials called his actions "conduct detrimental to the league." They did, however, note that they "did not find evidence that he engaged in any sexual or other misconduct apart from these brief exposures." "Primo maintains that his conduct was not intentional," the league said. Dr. Hillary Cauthen , Primo's former therapist, was the first to  bring the allegations  against Primo to light after she claimed last fall that he exposed himself to her on nine separate occasions. Dr. Cauthen's attorney,  Tony Buzbee , alleged the Spurs were aware of Primo's actions, but didn't take action. Cauthen went on to file
