He is one of the richest men in the world and his real estate assets are enough to make you dizzy. Bernard Arnault notably owns a castle on the outskirts of Paris.
Bernard Arnault has come a long way since his birth in Roubaix (North)! At 75 years old, the majority shareholder and CEO of the LVMH group today has a fortune estimated by Forbes at $188 billion. But what do we do with so much money? The businessman notably offered himself… a castle.
Where is Bernard Arnault’s castle located?
And Challenges tells us that the main residence of the famous boss is a private mansion dating from the 19th century, located in the very chic 7th arrondissement of Paris managed by Rachida Dati – purchased for 25 million euros in 2005, it extends over four floors and 2000 m² with a swimming pool in the basement -, Bernard Arnault also has a castle. The residence is located in Clairefontaine (Yvelines), less than an hour's drive from the capital.
Bernard Arnault can therefore play the squire whenever he wants since he bought the castle of Saint-Rémy-des-Landes. The building was built in 1830 and the estate “has a chapel, a swimming pool, a tennis court and a large park with ponds“, specifies Boursoramawho took a close interest in the CEO's real estate assets. As a bonus? An indoor swimming pool – clearly Bernard Arnault likes to do laps – and a fitness center. Moreover, “its vegetable garden is included in the inventory of remarkable gardens“, adds the blog Yveline.org.

Billionaire Bernard Arnault: Mélenchon’s harsh criticism
The fortune of the businessman whose company notably owns Louis Vuitton, Moët & Chandon, TAG Heuer and Tiffany & Co, arouses jealousy and criticism. Jean-Luc Mélenchon thus assured that France was experiencing “worst offense“by having the world's first billionaire at home…
“The words of this colorful character do not surprise me, they correspond to his usual dialectic; I nevertheless note that the excess of his declarations is increasingly contested, even by the left. What shocked me, however, was when he said that the high quality products produced by our group were not useful and that luxury professions in France should be eliminated. Do you know how many people work in our country for our sector of activity? More than 1 million! All this is not serious“, replied Bernard Arnault.
