In line with the plan announced when the 2025 results were published, Bernard Arnault and his family have indeed crossed the 50% threshold in the capital of the world’s leading luxury goods company. While this development does not disrupt LVMH’s governance, it confirms the Arnaults’ faith in the future of their group and secures their long-term control.
While the luxury sector continues to experience turbulence, the Arnault family is demonstrating its confidence in the future of the LVMH group.
As Bernard Arnault announced when the annual results were published last January, his family has indeed crossed the 50% threshold in the capital of the world’s leading luxury goods company.
Confirmation from the AMF
“In a letter received on February 24, 2026, the Arnault family group declared that, acting in concert, it had exceeded the 50% threshold of the capital of LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton (LVMH) and that it held 248,874,567 LVMH shares representing 491,218,121 voting rights, or 50.01% of the capital and 65.94% of the voting rights,” confirmed the AMF (Autorité des marchés financiers).
