Bernard Arnault vs. Larry Ellison

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.

Ellison never finished college. He started out building databases for the CIA. Daughter Megan has financed films such as Zero Dark Thirty and American Hustle; son David produced mainstream movies like The Terminator and Mission: Impossible".
