## Resource

Bernard Arnault, the billionaire behind LVMH, faces a 22.5 million euro tax bill after France’s highest court ruled a 50 million euro payout from a Belgian company should’ve been taxed as income. This isn’t his first brush with the taxman—he’s won twice before—and he’s a vocal opponent of wealth taxes, even attacking economist Gabriel Zucman’s proposals. The case reignites debates about ultra-rich tax strategies, recalling his 2012 Belgian citizenship move that sparked suspicions of tax avoidance. Arnault’s team vows to appeal, emphasizing LVMH’s massive contributions to France’s economy, while other wealthy families like the Wildensteins face similar tax battles—proving even the richest struggle with the tax code.
