LVMH may have to settle for a more humdrum future
  + stars: | 2023-10-11 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
The disappointing results knocked 6% off LVMH stock on Wednesday and dragged down rivals Richemont (CFR.S) and Kering (PRTP.PA) which also fell about 3%. That may compound investor worries about an overall slowdown of the company that’s behind Louis Vuitton and Christian Dior (DIOR.PA). And China’s economic slowdown and a possible U.S. recession make their future even more uncertain. LVMH is trading at 20 times its expected 2023 earnings after Wednesday's fall. If the less exuberant times keep rolling, LVMH may find itself settling for an even less luxurious valuation.

The population of the super wealthy, or those worth $100 million or more, doubled over the past 20 years as asset prices soared around the world, according to a new report. The rise of tech wealth, especially in the U.S., has also helped fueled the growth in the super-wealthy. The number of billionaires in the world has skyrocketed from under 500 in 2003 to more than 2,600 today, according to Forbes and other wealth-tracking firms. "The value of money has declined, so in dollar terms, you would expect more centi-millionaires," said Andrew Amoils, head of research at New World Wealth. The U.S. is still the dominant capital of entrepreneurship and centi-millionaires, with 38% of the global population of people worth $100 million or more, according to the report.

Washington lawmakers are scrambling to pass a spending bill before an Oct. 1 deadline. For retirees who rely on Social Security and Medicare, the good news is those programs will mostly be unaffected because they are considered mandatory spending. "Checks will continue to go out," Bill Sweeney, senior vice president of government affairs at AARP, said of Social Security benefits. "Most seniors should be fine, both on the Medicare side and on the Social Security side," said Maria Freese, senior legislative representative at the National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare. If a shutdown happens this time around, it may be brief, according to Bill Hoagland, senior vice president at the Bipartisan Policy Center.

Americans are at risk of falling short of what they may need to live on financially in retirement. One potential reason is lifestyle creep, or the tendency to upgrade your lifestyle as you earn more. An upgrade people are often tempted to make – the purchase of a second home – may be particularly risky for long-term planning, financial advisors say. "Those bigger purchases, if not done really deliberately and diligently, can almost end up being almost like a grenade in your otherwise well-planned retirement," said Patrick McGinn, president of Retirement Resources Investment Corp. in Peabody, Massachusetts. Importantly, the return on those liquid investments may far exceed what someone may earn on a second home.

The very rich are often bad investors. Here’s why

But there are only about 730 billionaires in the country, according to Forbes, and almost none of them inherited longstanding generational wealth. In fact, less than 10% of the current list of billionaires are descended from anyone on the first Forbes’ rich list, published in 1982. If you get the “What?” decision wrong and the sizing decision right, it’s still unfortunate and you’re going to lose money. Every year there’s going to be volatility — one year you’re going to be up 35% and the next year you’re going to be down 25%, but in the long term it will even out to 5%. The current walkout came close to beating the longest strike in WGA history, a 1988 strike that lasted 154 days.

Apartments in Zurich cost around $19,000 per square meter, according to data from Properstar. Transaction prices for apartments in the Zurich region rose 42.3% between 2013 and 2022. UBS said Wednesday that there was a perception of property in the city as "concrete gold." Renting an apartment in the city, meanwhile, cost around 47 Swiss franc ($58) per square meter, according to the Properstar data. UBS said in its Global Real Estate Bubble Index 2023, released Wednesday, that an increasing number of high-income earners and ultra-low interest rates in recent years had helped push up property prices.

"The reason we ask for 40% pay increases is because in the last four years alone, the CEO pay went up 40%. U.S. companies, in contrast, use grant date value of stock packages awarded to executives during the reporting year. AdvertisementAdvertisementThat's because in some years, talking about a CEO's "realized pay" can obscure exorbitant pay packages approved by company boards. AdvertisementAdvertisementThe CEOs of GM and Ford also saw their compensation packages peak in 2021, before declining slightly in 2022. However you slice the numbers, the gap between CEO pay and rank-and-file workers at all three companies is gigantic.

Almost regardless of how much you have in the bank, it's hard to feel financially secure. Across the board, households are facing surging child-care costs, ballooning auto loans, high mortgage rates and record rents amid economic uncertainty and recessionary fears. And nearly half, or 47%, of wealthy Americans said their financial planning needs improvement. Yet there are things millionaires do that the rest of us may not, Northwestern Mutual's report also found, which can go a long way toward improving long-term well-being. Here are three moves wealthy Americans are more likely to make:

Former US President and 2024 Presidential hopeful Donald Trump speaks at the CWA (Concerned Women for America) Summit 2023 in Washington, DC, on September 15, 2023. Former President Donald Trump is planning to visit Detroit next week to speak with current and former union members instead of attending the Republican primary debate, his campaign told CNBC on Monday. A campaign spokesman confirmed reporting in The New York Times that Trump, the clear front-runner in the race for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, intends to counterprogram the second primary debate as his rivals compete to catch up to him. Fain has previously said that a second Trump term in the White House would be a "disaster." He skipped the first primary debate last month, opting instead to sit for a pre-taped interview with former Fox News host Tucker Carlson that aired as the debate kicked off.

Here's a look at what lawmakers have voted on:MENTAL HEALTH SYSTEMPolitical Cartoons View All 1160 ImagesSenators on Thursday signed off on putting two proposals before voters next March that would help transform the state's mental health system and address the state’s worsening homelessness crisis. A proposal by Sen. Susan Eggman would overhaul how counties pay for mental and behavioral health programs. Irwin said her bill would bring “the single largest expansion” of the state’s mental health system. Under current state law, local government said their hands are tied if a person refuses to receive help. The legislation is part of the state’s ongoing efforts to reform its mental health system.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — California lawmakers voted Tuesday to put a proposal before voters next March that would overhaul how counties pay for mental and behavioral health programs in an effort to address the state's worsening homelessness crisis. In 2004, voters approved a special tax on millionaires to help pay for mental health programs. Gavin Newsom wants changes to restrict how local governments can use that money, with an emphasis on mental health and drug and alcohol use programs. Under his plan, two-thirds of revenue from the tax would pay for services for people who are chronically homeless and with severe mental health issues and unhealthy drug and alcohol use. The new mandates would result in a loss of more than $1 billion for existing programs such as mental health outpatients, crisis, recovery and peer-supported services, county officials said in a letter to Newsom over the weekend.

At least 88,200 people have $1 million or more in cryptocurrencies, a new wealth report said. That's out of 425 million total crypto users around the world, according to Henley & Partners. A fortunate few — 182 users — have cryptocurrencies worth more than $100 million, the report said. Crypto-millionaires are defined as people who have at least $1 million in cryptocurrency assets, per the firm's Crypto Wealth Report 2023. But the world's wealthy crypto users are starting to outnumber the number of high-net-worth individuals in entire countries, such as Russia, which has 65,000 millionaires, and Saudi Arabia, which has 52,000 millionaires, per Amoils' estimate.
