Bernard Arnault, the 76-year-old billionaire founder of LVMH, signaled he could helm the luxury group for the best part of another decade.LVMH said in a filing that it will seek to raise the age limit for the chief executive officer and chairman to 85 from the current 80 at next month’s annual general meeting.

Bernard Arnault has frequently described the conglomerate, which posted sales of 84.7 billion euros in 2024, as a family-run firm. The Arnault family’s holding company owns 49 percent of LVMH’s share capital and 64.8 percent of the voting rights.

The fashion role is expected to bolster Frédéric Arnault’s credentials as a candidate to one day lead the luxury-goods giant.
