Bernard Arnault’s Belgian Aspirations Continue: Left-wing French paper, Libération, has kindly given LVMH’s Bernard Arnault another helping of their front-page treatment. Following their September cover headlined with the French version of, “Get Lost you Rich Idiot!,” they’ve now published a lengthy piece on, “The Belgian Secrets of Bernard Arnault.” The article reveals Arnault’s creation of a complicated foundation in Belgium, a country where his application for citizenship has been rejected. France does not currently allow for private foundations, hence why it was reportedly established in a neighboring country. The foundation outlines Arnault’s children’s inheritance rights. Meanwhile, in retaliation of Libération’s first cover, LVMH has apparently pulled all of their advertising from the already-struggling paper. [Telegraph]
