    On a surely unrelated note, the richest man of Europe, formerly of the world, is the owner of luxury clothes brand LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton SE.

    Bernard Arnault is currently #5 on the Forbes 500 list. His kids went to a prestigious private school where they were taught by Brigitte Trogneux, who would later marry a pupil and go on to become France’s first lady Brigitte Macron. Small world.

    Anyway, I’m sure glad that us Europeans are being diligently protected by wise regulations that completely prevent the rise of oligarchs. I can’t imagine the harm caused if every trashy peasant can pretend to afford a Louis Vuitton handbag. Know your place!
