Bernard Arnault is head of luxury giant LVMH and the world's richest person worth $206 billion. He earned the nickname the "wolf in cashmere" because of his ruthless moves to acquire rivals. It's enabled him to create the world's largest luxury conglomerate, which was valued at $500 billion this week. "Arnault is a man of great vision," Pierre Mallevays, former head of acquisitions at LVMH, previously told The Guardian. It was during his pursuit of Hermès International that he earned the nickname of the "wolf in cashmere."
Pinault was born in 1936 in Brittany, France. As a 7-year-old during the Nazi occupation, Pinault used to bring food to Allied soldiers hidden near his family's home. Legend has it that German forces once beat Pinault and his father to try to get them to talk, but even as a child, he wouldn't give up their location.
