Lois Vutton boss sues newspaper for calling him “rich idiot”
A rich idiot with extra-thin skin.
It’s hard to know what to make of a story like that. He seems to be going out of his way to reinforce the perception that the super-rich are assholes.
Bernard Arnault is the richest guy in France, and he’s drawing a lot of attention to himself by publicly announcing he intends to become a Belgian citizen.
That’s seen as a response to the government’s recent decision to up the tax rate to 75% for income over a million euros. This is sheer speculation of course; he may simply want to move in order to be closer to those superior Belgian chocolates.
Hell, people move all the time and for a multiplicity of reasons. Who are we to impugn his motives?
In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if his first order of business when he settles in Brussels isn’t lobbying the Belgian government to raise the income tax.
So I’m sure that idiot talk was just a misunderstanding.
