We tell the full history of LVMH, and how Bernard Arnault turned a $15m investment in a bankrupt French textile company into the world\\u2019s largest individual fortune. It\\u2019s a story that\\u2019s equal parts Berkshire Hathaway, Steve Jobs and Barbarians at the Gate\\u2026 and wholly under-appreciated for the genius business model innovations that enabled it. Whatever industry you operate or invest in, there\\u2019s so much to be learned from Bernard and LVMH\\u2019s complete reshaping of the luxury sector over the past three and a half decades. And oh yeah, it also involves Nazi spies, Italian family murders, Rupert Murdoch, Rihanna becoming a billionaire, Jay-Z\\u2019s champagne feuds and Beyonce\\u0301 wearing a 128 carat diamond. Tune in! :)\\xa0
