One of the worse edit

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

Thank you for your suggestion! When you feel an article needs improvement, please feel free to make those changes. Wikipedia is a wiki, so anyone can edit almost any article by simply following the Edit this page link at the top. 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. If you're not sure how editing works, check out how to edit a page, or use the sandbox to try out your editing skills. New contributors are always welcome. TerriersFan 02:13, 25 May 2007 (UTC)Reply


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 edit

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

X1969 edit

What does "X1969" mean, as found in the article? —BarrelProof (talk) 19:11, 19 November 2014 (UTC)Reply

Blocking minority edit

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! edit

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

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

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 edit

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