He’s a billionaire and set to inherit part of one of the world’s most impressive fortunes.
And now, LVMH heir Frederic Arnault is reportedly single.
The 31-year-old son of one of the world’s richest men Bernard Arnault was previously the chief executive of LVMH Watches, which owns TAG Heuer, but has as of last summer been the boss of the group’s high-end Italian cashmere label Loro Piana.
Since 2022, he has been linked to K-pop star and White Lotus actress Lalisa ‘Lisa’ Manobal. However, according to Vanity Fair, the pair are rumoured to have now split.
Frederic’s father Bernard is the chief executive of the LVMH conglomerate, which owns some of the world’s biggest luxury brands including Louis Vuitton, Moet & Chandon, Fendi, Guerlain and Fenty Beauty.
According to Forbes, his father has an estimated net-worth of $151billion (£114.5billion).
Other than his links to Lisa, not much has been known about the love life of tycoon Bernard’s fourth child.
The French family is considered to have one of the largest fortunes across the globe, with Bernard’s father having made his cash in construction. Bernard went on to buy Christian Dior with it, and has since built a luxury goods empire with brands including Louis Vuitton, Moet & Chandon, Sephora and Tiffany & Co.
Since 2022, he had been linked to K-pop star and White Lotus actress Lalisa ‘Lisa’ Manobal. However, according to Vanity Fair, the pair are rumoured to have now split. Pictured in 2024
Frederic and Lisa, who is a singer and actress after finding fame with pop group Blackpink, were first linked four years ago, and have been spotted at various events together
All of his children work for the family business, and in 2024 Frederic was named head of LVMH’s family holding group, Financiere Agache.
He and the Thai idol, 29, who found fame in the girl group Blackpink, were first linked four years ago, and have been spotted at various events together.
Lisa has joined Frederic at events for TAG Heuer and Formula One in Miami, and in November 2022, he attended one of Blackpink’s concerts at the BMO Stadium in Los Angeles before posting a snap alongside the band members.
Frederic and Lisa were then spotted giggling together at the Bulgari Mediterranean High Jewellery Event in Venice in 2023, as well as hanging out in Paris when the star was on the group’s world tour.
Another photo also surfaced of the two at a private airport lounge in Los Angeles, California.
Last year many were also convinced that Lisa sang about Frederic in her hit song Moonlit Floor, with the lyrics saying: ‘Green-eyed French boy got me trippin’ / On that accent off your lips / How your tongue do all those tricks?’
Neither Lisa nor Frederic confirmed the status of their relationship.

Successful in her own right, Lisa is a member of global sensation Blackpink alongside her burgeoning acting career.
The quartet have broken numerous chart records and have the highest selling tour of all time for a female group.
Lisa made her solo debut in 2021 with the singles Lalisa and Money, both of which cracked Billboard’s Hot 100 chart. In 2023 Money earned a Guinness World Record for being the first K-pop track by a solo artist to reach one billion streams on Spotify.
Lisa – who also starred in series three of critically acclaimed show White Lotus – has been the face of countless luxury brands owned by LVMH, including Celine and Bulgari.
However, fans are now convinced that she and Frederic called it quits, after he was reportedly absent from her birthday celebrations this spring.
Speaking to Vanity Fair this week, Lisa remarked on how immense speculation into her private life has been challenging to deal with.
‘I feel like after I came out and talked about how there’s no privacy for me, [fans] now respect that a lot more,’ she shared.
‘They know that being in this position is not easy. Sometimes it’s just a little too much, and sometimes I just want to be normal.
‘We’re really grateful, and we feel so lucky that we have a global fandom who always supports us.’
