Frenchman Bernard Arnault, CEO of the luxury group LVMH, and his family took the lead on Wednesday in the Forbes ranking of the world's largest fortunes with 185.1 billion dollars, dethroning the American Elon Musk, boss of Tesla, SpaceX and Twitter.

The 73-year-old French businessman and his family took the lead in this real-time ranking, due to the erosion of Elon Musk's fortune, due in particular to a sharp decline in Tesla shares on the New York Stock Exchange on Wednesday.

Bernard Arnault had already occupied this place for a few hours in May 2021.
