LVMH shares ended the seven days up 8%, and Arnault's fortune climbed by $8.1 billion, making the luxury goods tycoon a centibillionaire once again, worth $103.4 billion. Back in mid-January, the luxury goods kingpin briefly became the richest person on earth (a few times), and was worth $117 billion when LVMH stock hit an all-time high. Several other European fashion and consumer goods powerhouses also jumped this week as increased optimism over economies reopening propped up stocks. They're trading near all-time highs, and Takizaki, who's now worth $24.1 billion, is $2.1 billion wealthier.
