One of the worse

This is one of the worse articles I have seen on wiki. How did he get rich? I heard something about Louis Vitton on the rich list but nothing here. Childhood? etc etc the TRUTH 01:53, 25 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You don't even need to log in (although there are many reasons why you might want to). The Wikipedia community encourages you to be bold in updating pages. Don't worry too much about making honest mistakes — they're likely to be found and corrected quickly.

The background article refers to his father, and "the company". But neither are named. Who was his father, and what was the company? Was it family owned, etc?124.197.15.138 (talk) 18:10, 19 December 2009 (UTC) He is 3rd in the worlds richist billionaires not 4th--86.148.30.221 (talk) 18:36, 17 January 2012 (UTC)Bold text--86.148.30.221 (talk) 18:36, 17 January 2012 (UTC)--86.148.30.221 (talk) 18:36, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

In ELEVEN YEARS this article has not improved in its background information, in fact it's degraded. Who the fuck is policing this page to keep this man's background hidden? Every month someone is removing all of the information about his father and background. 2604:2000:1281:45D1:1D2A:66AA:405F:545E (talk) 14:13, 23 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is "the encyclopedia that anyone can edit", so no one was stopping you from contributing. Anyway, I have just expanded the "Early life" section. Edwardx (talk) 19:07, 23 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Could I add that he has enjoyed sensual pleasures to the maximum extent, (splurging on cars, villas, holidays, luxuries, women, wine, drink etc.)? If it is constructive. 210.212.162.179 (talk) 10:14, 18 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Bernard the Belgian

If we see him as a non-naturalised Belgian, how many generations would he be away from Belgium? --82.134.28.194 (talk) 13:34, 28 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Blocking minority

There is a new disambiguation article, Blocking minority, which may be relevant to this article (specifically to LVMH share purchases) since the term is used here without much explanation. Improvement and development will be welcome there. --Red King (talk) 14:09, 6 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Merci patron!

So... no mention of this and other criticism? The section on the Belgian nationality seems incomplete at best. 2001:1C02:1901:ED00:DD1:1C6A:E786:22B7 (talk) 09:07, 14 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please feel free to WP:BEBOLD and add information if you think it is missing. We all help improve Wikipedia in that way. Jo Jc Jo^{Talk💬Edits📝} 15:57, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Notability for wealth in general, not for briefly becoming the richest person in the world

In case someone wants to actually discuss this, his recent and brief position as the wealthiest person in the world is not what he's notable for, and should not replace summarizing statements about his position as one of the wealthiest persons in the world. --Hipal (talk) 18:55, 28 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nor for being the richest person in Afro-Eurasia. --Hipal (talk) 16:38, 19 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Needs an update

No longer richest person, also, update projections for 2022 97.119.238.249 (talk) 02:37, 17 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Add post-nominals in infobox

Please add the Post Nominals OMRI and COAL in the infobox. Is that possible for you to do? Like with article Dalida, where the post nominals are shown in the infobox, can someone add them to Arnualt's infobox? 70.50.199.125 (talk) 17:07, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Richest again

According to the Wikipedia page on the richest people (linked in the article), he is, in 2024, back on top. N.o.bouvin (talk) 09:22, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
