Bernard Arnault - France

Bernard Arnault was born 5 March 1949 in Roubaix (59 year old).
After graduating from the Maxence Van Der Meersch high school,
Bernard Arnault was admitted to the École Polytechnique 
from which he graduated with an engineering degree in 1971.
Arnauit is married and has 5 children. After graduation, Mr Arnault
joined his father’s company. In 1976, he convinced his father to
liquidate the construction division of the company for 40 million
francs, and to change the focus of company to real estate.

He is a French businessman. He is the 13th richest person in
the world and France’s richest person with an estimated net
worth of $25.5 billion US dollars.

In 1984 the attention of Arnault was involved with recently become
bankrupt textile conglomerate Boussac which among the other
possessed also fashion house Christian Dior.Some companies
including Louis Vuitton, but Arnault has advanced all have become
interested in a tidbit.

Arnault unloaded Boussac’s disposable-diaper business and much of
its textiles operations, gaining a $400 million windfall in the
process. This sale enabled him to buy his way into LVMH in 1989,
purchasing $1.8 billion in LVMH shares and forging a deal that gave
him control of 24 percent of the group. A bitter power struggle
ensued between Arnault and Henry Racamier, the former chairman of
LVMH’s Louis Vuitton subsidiary and a member by marriage of one of
the firm’s founding families. After more than a year, Arnault won a
series of court battles, Racamier was ousted, and Arnault purged
LVMH’s top Vuitton executives. His takeover of LVMH was one of the
roughest in France’s business history and earned Arnault a reputation
for viciousness that was solidified by the numerous layoffs that
followed his rise to power. But many people respected Arnault’s
business strategy and penchant for risk taking. Among his admirers
was Gilles Cahen-Salvador, who at the time ran the financial firm
LBO France. "People like him are setting good examples for the
French economy," said Cahen-Salvador (BusinessWeek, July 30, 1990).

His tactics bears fruit. LVMH supervises now such brands, as Givenchy,
Christian Lacroix, Loewe, Kenzo, Guerlain, Berluti, Celine. Into
empire Arnault enter jeweller firm Fred and Swiss hour Tag Heuer.

The list of alcoholic brands in a collection of Arno is not less
impressive: cognac Hennessy, champagne Moet et Chandon, Dom Perignon, Pommery, Krug, Veuve Clicquot.
And the empire continues to grow - Arnault remains to one of the
most active buyers of the companies in the world.

Bernard Arnault has sustained one of the most shattering defeats in
the career last year when has tried to add to the collection the
Italian company Gucci. Holder Gucci of that time - bank Investcorp
asked $350 million.

However firm businesses have been so started that Arnault has
preferred not to contact it and has refused purchase. Then De Sole
has suggested Arnault to acquire completely Gucci. However the price
named it was too high: $85 for the share that on $30 more than its real
value. Arnault such money did not wish to pay.

Bernard Arnault - 13

Disappointed Arnault has submitted against De Sole the claim to the
Dutch court (Gucci it is registered as the legal body in Amsterdam),
having convicted him of unfair management of the company.

Arnault also owned the art auction house Phillips de Pury & Company
from 1999 to 2003.

Arnault faced a host of challenges in early 2004. The luxury market
struggled from declines in tourist travel, crucial to the sale of
designer goods, and several LVMH brands suffered from their own
financial troubles. Japan’s economy was another factor; in 2001 the
country accounted for 40 percent of sales at LVMH, but Japan’s
economy had been in a recession since 2003. It even seemed
questionable that mass-market brands could continue to command top
dollar. Nonetheless, Arnault was optimistic that he could continue
to generate a steady flow of profit from his brands while ensuring
the highest level of quality and creativity. As he told the
Washington Post (April 28, 2002), "The possibility of creating very
appealing products with architects, with designers and making it
commercially very successful is what I am good at, I think, and what
I like to do."

Getting paid for products and services online is a relatively new phenomenon. Nowadays, you can sell almost anything online — but at a price. Coughing up thousands of dollars to establish your own merchant account can be daunting. Fortunately, there is an alternative: PayPal.
PayPal is an online payment system owned by eBay, the world’s biggest flea market. PayPal lets eBay merchants accept electronic payments without shelling out a small fortune to Visa, MasterCard, or American Express. But it isn’t only eBay merchants who benefit: PayPal is a product in its own right.
The net effect is that you can use PayPal to process electronic payments without listing your products or services on eBay, and without shelling out the aforementioned small fortune for a merchant account. For a small fee (generally 1% to 3% of the transaction amount, plus $.30 per transaction), PayPal will process electronic payments for any product or service on nearly any Web site. Setting up your Web application to accomplish this, however, isn’t quite so straightforward.
This article walks you straight through a winding path that will help you turn an ordinary Web site into your own personal money tree. It helps you find the latest PayPal Web controls for ASP.NET, and acquire a few tips from PayPal insiders and PayPal Hacks author Dave Nielsen.
Establishing a PayPal Account
There are a few things to know before you get started. First are the company rules. The free PayPal personal accounts can accept PayPal payments and bank account transfers, but a personal account does not let you accept credit cards. To accept credit cards, you must establish a (free) business account, or upgrade to a premier account. Every payment you receive costs 2.9% of the transaction amount, plus $.30 for beginners; it goes as low as 1.9% for high volume merchants. There are never any monthly fees.
PayPal prefers to move money around in its own accounts rather than cut you a check, but you can get a check or use your PayPal account to buy things for yourself online. One alternative is to request a PayPal debit card; it works like any debit card, and funds are taken right from your PayPal account. Plus, you can withdraw funds directly into your own bank account.
Finally, PayPal is associated with eBay and has a very low fraud rate.
Collectively, these things make PayPal a viable option for selling directly online.
Creating Your Account
To begin, you need a PayPal account. PayPal recommends that you use no live accounts in the sandbox, but ultimately you’ll need a live PayPal account to get paid. However, you can play in the sandbox all day without providing PayPal (or anyone else) any banking information or funds.
