Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos handed the running of their companies to skilled industry executives. The billionaire founders of the world’s top luxury groups are more clannish, so investors need to watch the family. The bosses of several big luxury businesses are now in their eighth decade, including the world’s richest man, LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton founder Bernard Arnault , Cartier owner Johann Rupert and the husband-and-wife team at the top of Prada , Miuccia Prada and Patrizio Bertelli . The brothers behind privately held Chanel, Alain and Gerard Wertheimer , are also in their 70s.
Many über-rich people don't outsource their wealth — they hire their own chief investment officers. He left SAC in 2005 for Dune Capital Management, but stayed in touch with Steve during his five-year term at the investment firm. Andrew oversees CPV's portfolio, which primarily comprises direct private investments such as Collectors Universe, a collectibles-authentication company, and the New York Mets. In 2011, Wildcat Capital Management was launched with Potter as president and chief investment officer. Since November 2021, Carland has also served as the interim chief investment officer for Builders Vision's asset arm.
His grandsons, brothers Alain and Gerard Wertheimer, control Chanel today, which generated $9.6 billion in 2018. The brothers have a combined net worth of $30.8 billion. Their wealth, while largely inherited, has been grown through business deals and acquisitions spanning retail, wine, and horse racing. The brothers are largely tight-lipped, hardly ever speaking to the press or giving interviews about their wealth, companies, family, relationships, or hobbies. With a combined net worth over $30 billion, the Wertheimer brothers are among the richest people in the world.
