Yes…and? No details as to why this happened. I find it more interesting that somebody named Bernard Arnault is the 2nd richest man in the world, worth nearly $200B. Who?? What I also find interesting is these world’s richest people, seem to be worth a whole lot more than they did just a few years ago.
Oracle stock is hitting all time highs. IMHO, AI is the reason.
Arnault is the man behind LVMH Hennessy, maker and marketer of luxury goods from purses to liquor.
Now if he just became a space advocate.
