It is not the first time LVMH triumphs over Amazon. In December 2019 for a short while Bernard Arnault has replaced Jeff Bezos as the richest man on the planet.

Let’s hope that this time, the French man of elegance who collects art, plays tennis and piano will triumph over the American man who has made his online store a largest juggle in the world flooded with cheaply and badly made stuff that are disgusting to look at and terrible to use.

The triumph of Bernard Arnault, will hopefully awaken more people’s appreciation of objects of beauty, quality and elegance in
