"Luxury for me is how can you create desire?" That's very telling. It's not about quality of materials or craftsmanship. It's not about superior functionality or design. It's about perception - convincing people that what you are selling is worth tenfold what it really is. This is the difference between true luxury offered by many other brands and the faux luxury his companies are shilling. The other brands' margins are modest, his are ludicrous. He is wealthy due to vain wealthy people that can afford to throw away money, as well as middle class people with more vanity than brains.

Could ask the same for guys like Gabe Newell or Markus Persson. Major video game industry entrepreneurs who objectively don’t contribute much “greater good” yet still attained substantial wealth. In Arnault’s case, much like the former two examples, it’s all to do with the industry and target market. Not measured based on the “greater good”, because no matter what: - Kids, Teenagers and other gamers want to continue to play and have the opportunity to experience new titles - people like to look good, no matter how inflated the cost The concept of status symbols is a strange artificiality brought on by humans’ innate wish to be looked on better and not be “the outsider”. The person without that item. Arnault knows that it’s a fallacy and doesn’t use his company’s products himself, but he understands the psychological inclinations of his customers.

@elfrjz I also think steam is incredibly good. I’m just making a comparison of similarities. I have no opinion on Louis Vuitton because personally I have never used nor bought one of their products.

Particularly with Steam’s development of easier accessibility to games. I’d be interested to hear your view about LV though, because I’m certainly not of a fashion background.

They really do make beautiful clothes. LV has some of the best fashions, and the Dior brand definitely has had great ideas over the last few years. Contrast that with stuff from Gucci and it’s no contest. I understand all the hatred for fashion in the comments, that’s fair. However, there are those who simply appreciate beautiful and creative things. There’s nothing wrong with a reliable car that looks terrible, but some prefer a reliable car that looks beautiful. If brands can create this at a good price, even better. Typically what happens though, is these brands innovate ideas, then cheaper brands copy and put them on the masses 2-5 years later with even cheaper materials. These brands, along with places like Nike and yes Yeezy, are first to market with vision or are on the streets noticing hot trends before they take off. His sons for example wore Nikes with dress clothes which is common now, 15 years ago this was not. His son is over LV watches which have taken cues from the Apple Watch but beautified it. Some people have art on their walls, others have it on their person. Some have both. Some prefer a simple style, others love flamboyance. I always pay attention to beautiful things that stand the test of time.

@@JTD472 Their biggest Global Brand Ambassadors are actually Kpop stars, biggest based on the most social media engagement, the most fan turnouts to their fashion shows and ultimately generated revenue: - Tiffany & Co has Rose of Blackpink - Celine has Lisa of Blackpink - Dior has Jisoo of Blackpink Yes, the group does look to pop and hip hop artists, as Blackpink is heavily influenced by it. But ironically not so much from America as it does from Asia, specifically these South Korean stars. This is the case because you’re dealing with megastars that dominate both Western and Eastern markets (which has insanely large number of big spenders for luxury goods nowadays)

@@jfprizzy kpop is almost more hip hop based than American pop these days. That was kind of my point exactly. African American and hip hop culture (however you want to separate the two) is in everything, especially kpop. The lyrics of a kpop song are almost identical to rap, and their music videos are the exact same style. It all ties in to it becoming cool to openly brag about your money and wearing as much of it as visibility as possible. And these brands have absolutely capitalized on it, though it wasn’t their original idea.
