Bernard Arnault Drops from Top 10 Richest as US Tech Billionaires Lead Rankings
Bernard Arnault, founder of LVMH, has fallen out of the top 10 richest people globally for the first time since 2017, with his net worth declining by $65 billion to $143 billion this year. This drop is attributed to weaker luxury demand, challenges in China, and disruptions in the Middle East affecting key markets like Dubai. Meanwhile, US tech billionaires, led by Elon Musk, now occupy all top 10 spots on the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, marking a first since its 2012 inception.
