Bernard Arnault vs. Alice Walton

Arnault apparently wooed his wife, Helene Mercier, a concert pianist, by playing Chopin and other classical composers on the piano. Arnault and LVMH own a 40% stake in private equity firm L Catterton, which has $30 billion in assets, including investments in Birkenstock and Equinox.

After graduating from Trinity College in 1971, Walton briefly worked for Walmart as a buyer of children's clothes. Her art collecting career began when she was 11 and bought a 25-cent print of Picasso's "Blue Nude".
