So, my wife is obsessed with this cosmetic store. And I mean OBSESSED. But it’s not just her – other people keep flocking back too. So, I decided to play detective and find out what all the fuss is about.
After a few months of investigating, I decided to put my money where my mouth is and invested a grand in this company’s stocks. But, you might ask, why would I do that? Well, let me tell you. First, we need to talk about the man in charge of this empire…
 
He was born on 5 March 1949 in Roubaix to a family of successful manufacturers. His dad owned a civil engineering company, Ferret-Savinel, and Bernard joined the company right after he graduated from the prestigious École Polytechnique in 1971.
 
 
 

Fun fact: In 1976, Bernard convinced his father to liquidate the company’s construction division, ultimately giving them 40 million French francs to invest in a booming real estate business.

When the French Socialists came to power in 1981, he moved to the US to expand his family business there. But two years later, the French Socialists switched to a more conservative economic course, and Bernard decided to return to his homeland.

 

Then, Boussac Saint-Frères – a textile empire including Christian Dior – went bankrupt. Bernard teamed up with Antoine Bernheim to acquire the company and sell all its assets except the Christian Dior brand and the Le Bon Marché department store. This made him a wealthy man, and he took over as CEO of Dior in 1985.

Fast forward a few years to when Bernard was invited to invest in LVMH. He joined forces with Guinness PLC to purchase 24% of the shares of LVMH. By 1989, he controlled 43.5% of the shares and was unanimously elected chairman of the executive management board.
 
Bernard’s ambition to grow and expand his empire led him to acquire several other companies over the 1990s, including famous brands such as Guerlain, Loewe, Marc Jacobs, Sephora, and Thomas Pink.
 
In 2017, LVMH added pop star Rihanna to its portfolio, making her a billionaire. And, in 2021, they completed the purchase of Tiffany & Co. Bernard Arnault’s story shows that anything is possible with hard work, dedication, and a little bit of luck!
So, I bought around 4 shares of LVMUY because I couldn’t get my hands on LVMH stocks directly. They’re a foreign company, and ADRs are my only option (American Depositary Receipts – gotta love finance jargon!).
 
But get this: LVMUY’s semi-annual dividend is about 1.49%, which means I’ll be racking up $1.50 per share every six months. That’s $6.16 for the year, bringing in a total of $12.32. Not too shabby, right?
And when I checked out their numbers, I saw that they’re doing pretty well. Their EBITDA earnings before tax are a healthy 23.91 B. Their total asset is sitting pretty at $134B, but they owe $78B, so their total debt-to-equity ratio is 35.2%.
The cherry on top? They’ve got 11 B cash just hanging around in their pockets. Not too bad at all.
 
Let me tell you about my thoughts on this company’s product. It’s all around us! Growing up in the Vietnamese community, drinking is a huge part of our culture, and if someone had a bottle of Hennessy XO Cognac they were considered super wealthy!
 
My wife loves to shop at Sephora for her monthly, and yearly, beauty fixes. Women just can’t get enough of makeup and skincare products – it’s basically a necessity! Oh, and let’s not forget about that Tiffany & Co. bracelet she just had to have. As for me, I see LVMH products as a symbol of status.
 
You’ve worked hard for your money and can afford high-end piece. It creates this amazing feeling of confidence and good vibes. If you want to buy their stock, you definitely need to save up some cash for it. It’s not cheap, but let me share with you how I’ve managed to save my money in this video.
