Ownership of the symphony, features of the superyacht, additional amenities and specifications.

French businessman, investor, and art collector Bernard Arnault is the chairman and chief executive of the world's largest luxury goods company, LVMH Moët Hennessy – Louis Vuitton. He is currently the third richest person in the world and the richest person in Europe. The French fashion tycoon is one the world's ultimate taste-makers and his ownership of the super yacht Symphony is a proof that he likes the combination of class and beauty which comes with a price. With the billions of wealth he has accumulated over the years, it is not at all surprising that he bought a luxury yacht.

Bernard Arnault is the proud owner of the largest Feadship to be ever made according to the Yacht Habor. The CEO of the French multinational luxury goods conglomerate, LVMH, owns the luxury mega yacht which is worth $150 million. It is not surprising that Bernard Arnault would spend so much for a luxury yacht since he has a stunning net worth of $93.5 billion and currently among the top ten billionaires in the world and recognized as the richest man in France.

Arnault first ventured into the yacht industry back in 2008 when he led the acquisition of the British yacht manufacturer called Princess Yachts. Since then LVMH has been working closely with the world leading brand of custom-built luxury mega-yachts, Feadship. It was in 2015 when Arnault decided to buy Symphony for $150 million. The super yacht has about estimated running costs of $10 to 15 million per year and currently not available for charter.

The Superyacht Symphony comes with eight huge staterooms that can fit about sixteen guests and a comfortable berthing that can accommodate about 27 crew members on board the yacht. It also has a private deck for the owner. It is created to accommodate about thirty six passengers. The exteriors of the yacht were designed by the world class renowned company Tim Heywood Design. The interiors on the other hand were aesthetically designed with the décor of the yacht being done by the one and only Zuretti Interior Design. The Symphony has been constructed by the Feadship at the Royal Van Lent Shipyard as a simple Project 808.

The luxury yacht is currently among the most sought-after private vessels . Bernard Arnault’s luxury vehicle at the sea is far more than par excellence. It is powered by a 2,415 hp Wärtsilä engine which comes with a powerful battery bank and about three generator sets. It also houses the string of amenities of the yacht such as the appointed entertainment areas, the al fresco bar area for parties and events and the state-of-the-art kitchen that is serving stunning decadent French delights. It is also a 101-meter luxury yacht that was built at the Royal Van Lent Shipyard. Symphony has a steel hull that has an aluminum superstructure. The yacht has complied with the amended Passenger Yacht Code (PYC).

The luxury yacht is said to be an eco-friendly yacht which uses a hybrid propulsion technology and powered by a 4x MTU 16V4000M73 engine. Due to the advance hybrid propulsion technology, the yacht can store energy in its battery bank that can work together with its diesel engines. The main engine on the other hand works hand in hand with the generators and modern battery bank that were attached to the yacht. It uses about 30% less than the energy that a normal yacht uses. The maximum speed of the yacht is about 21 knots and the cruising speed is about 10 knots. The Symphony was ranked 50 th out of the top 100 superyacht around the world with a 101.5 meter six deck. The structure of the yacht was made by the De Voogt Naval Architects. The floors and ceilings of the yacht are encased in a light wood panel which was complemented by the w ooden furniture with accents of gold and natural tones .

The Symphony contains luxury features such as the 6 meter glass-bottom swimming pool located on the main deck, an outdoor cinema that was aesthetically placed on the bridge deck and a stunning Jacuzzi on the yacht’s sundeck. The owner’s deck is also equipped with two bathrooms, sauna, forward terrace that has a Jacuzzi as well, a private office space, a spacious lounge and dressing rooms. Since the wife of Arnault, Helene Mercier, is a concert pianist, there is also a piano on board. The owner’s deck also has deck area perfect for lounging with a dining table that can accommodate about 20 people. It also has two elevators for passengers to use and one elevator even features a 15-metre interactive video screen which can play video footages upon the request of the guests.

Symphony At Sea: A Glimpse Into LVMH CEO’s $150 Million Superyacht

yacht of bernard arnault

Bernard Arnault, rumored to have been the third richest man in the world, owns one of the grandest yachts at sea. The impressive superyacht boasts a vast interior and eye-catching aesthetic that make it notable on any list. Mr. Arnault is the CEO of the French luxury goods company LVMH (Louis Vuitton, Moet, Hennessy ) and has caught the attention of yachting enthusiasts with his exceptional seabound treasure.

yacht of bernard arnault

In 2015, the high-end yacht builder, Feadship, built the $150 million superyacht. Mr. Arnault purchased it, and named it Symphony , a musical metaphor for the billionaire’s undisturbed ocean getaway. It ranks in the top 50 of biggest yachts in the world measuring roughly 333 feet with a max speed of 21 knots, so it’s no wonder that it continues to catch stares wherever it’s docked.

On top of that, the elaborate interior makes this sizable structure stand out from the rest. Zuretti Interior Design, a French studio specializing in luxury superyachts, took on the task of perfecting it. The artisan space was inspired by residences in Bali and Thailand. The walls and floors were covered in light wash wood panels that suggest a hint of ‘upscale tropicale’ . Meanwhile, neutral furniture with gold decor tells a luxe story. On the outside, she has a clean navy blue trim close to sea level that draws the eye to her bright white finish.

This stunning yacht can house nearly 20 guests and has space below deck for a crew of 38. The glamorous owner’s suite includes a private deck with access to an intimate sauna experience and even better views.

This mega yacht has no shortage of amusements. The aft deck has an incredible glass-bottom pool while the bow is taken over by a sleek helipad. A fully-equipped gym also resides here along with a pop-up golf tee. Toys in tow include inflatables, a slide, jet skis, and sea bobs.

Last we heard, the billionaire’s not chartering his vessel, but his own personal guests will take interest in some of the unique features. Those curious about the mechanics behind the craft can have a museum-like experience on board with access to a massive display that tracks speed, rpm, and even allows a glimpse at the underwater camera.

Mr. Arnault has connections in the industry, but he remains quite private amidst it all. Not only is he a shareholder in Dior, but he owns the yacht shipyard Royal Van Lent where his yacht was built. His wallflower behavior spurred his desire to trade in his private jet , but thankfully, Symphony encompasses the calm that he continually seeks. It’s doubtful he’ll part ways with her anytime soon.

Symphony, superyacht de Bernard Arnaud aux multiples loisirs

yacht of bernard arnault

Lancé en 2015 et construit par Feadship, Symphony est un superyacht de 101,5 m de long, propriété de l'homme d'affaires Bernard Arnaud. À bord, tout est conçu pour s'amuser et se détendre grâce à ses (très) nombreux équipements de loisirs.

Chloé Torterat

Le plus grand yacht jamais construit aux Pays-Bas en 2015

Symphony est un superyacht de 101,5 m de long et de 14,10 m de large construit par le chantier néerlandais Feadship, sur son chantier de Kaag. Lancé en 2015, il est alors le premier yacht du constructeur à dépasser la barre des 100 m, mais aussi le plus grand yacht jamais construit aux Pays-Bas.

Symphony est né du travail commun de Tim Heywood et De Voogt Naval Architects, tandis que le design intérieur est signé Zuretti. Il est la propriété de l'homme d'affaires Bernard Arnault, Président-directeur général du groupe de luxe LVMH.

Sa coque à déplacement en acier lui permet de naviguer dans des contrées lointaines avec un maximum de résistance, tandis que sa superstructure en aluminium abrite de 6 ponts au plancher teck. Un système de stabilisateur permet de réduire le roulis et améliorer à la fois le confort en navigation comme au mouillage .

Six ponts pour s'amuser et se détendre

Ses six ponts dotés de larges terrasses offrent tout l'équipement nécessaire à la détente et aux loisirs. Ainsi, on retrouve sur la plage avant une immense hélisurface pour rejoindre le bateau directement en hélicoptère. Le sundeck abrite un salon d'observation, un bar et un spa. Mais la longue liste d'équipements ne s'arrête pas là !

Le Symphony est une véritable plateforme de divertissement avec écran de projection en plein air, son cinéma HD sur le pont inférieur, sa piste de danse, son salon de beauté, son practice de golf, sa salle de gym, sa salle de musique avec piano à queue ou encore sa bibliothèque .

Le clou du spectacle est sans aucun doute sa piscine de nage à contre-courant d'une longueur de 6 m dotée d'une cascade et d'un fond en verre transparent. Autre équipement digne d'un superyacht, pour se déplacer à travers les six ponts, le Symphony possède un ascenseur.

43 personnes à bord

À bord, 16 invités peuvent loger confortablement répartis dans 8 cabines : 1 master suite, 1 suite VIP et 6 cabines doubles toutes dotées de leur salle de bain. Un des ponts est entièrement dédié au propriétaire avec lit double, double salle de bain, dressings, sauna, bureau, terrasse avant avec spa ou encore terrasse arrière avec salle à manger pouvant accueillir jusqu'à 20 convives autour de la table. 27 membres d'équipage sont prévus pour s'occuper de la vie du bord.

Une capacité transatlantique

Avec 4 moteurs MTU 16V 4000 M73 d'une puissance de 1 909 CH et deux propulseurs, Symphony atteint une vitesse de croisière de 16 nœuds et une vitesse maximale de 22 nœuds. À la vitesse raisonnable de 14 nœuds, et grâce à ses immenses réservoirs de carburant de 256 000 litres, le yacht possède une autonomie de 5 500 milles. Ses réservoirs d'eau, lui permettant de pouvoir naviguer en autonomie de longs mois sont tout aussi démesurés puisqu'ils ont une capacité de 56 000 litres.

Why the World’s Richest Person Drove a Custom 1990 Peugeot 205 GTI for Decades

It's now on sale for $100,000...

Why the World’s Richest Person Drove a Custom 1990 Peugeot 205 GTI for Decades

Image: DMARGE

  • The Peugeot 205 GTI, formerly owned by billionaire Bernard Arnault, it’s a bespoke mix of discreet style and luxurious upgrades.
  • The well-kept Peugeot is now valued at $66,000 USD/$100,000 AUD.
  • LVMH CEO’s 1990 Peugeot 205 GTI is a level two armoured vehicle.

In an era when the car world hums with announcements of self-driving vehicles , a surprising relic from the past is making waves—a 1990 Peugeot 205 GTI hot hatch with a price tag that might make you spill your champagne—an extraordinary $66,000 USD. At first glance, one might wonder why anyone would shell today’s best electric vehicles money for a three-decade-old Peugeot.

The Billionaire’s Low-Profile Hot Hatch

Bernard Arnault's Peugeot 205

The answer lies in its James Bond-worthy modifications and former owner. This vehicle features level 2 armour protection and once belonged to none other than Bernard Arnault, the fashion mogul and CEO of Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton SE (LVMH), whose net worth stands at $180 billion USD, making him the third-richest person in the world. He was, briefly, the richest man on earth, nabbing the title from Elon Musk in 2022…

But how could a man who can afford a fleet of Rolls-Royces choose an old Peugeot? The explanation is brilliant and simple at the same time —anonymity. In the modern era where ostentatiousness commands uninvited attention, Arnault’s choice of a hot hatch for the common man was the perfect masterstroke of flying under the radar.

Bernard Arnault on his private jet, now sold

This predilection for privacy is nothing new for Arnault. He made headlines in 2022 after selling his Bombardier 7500 private jet, which cost around $73 million USD , when Twitter users began tracking its movements. In a Radio Classique interview he revealed:

“The result now is that no one can see where I go because I rent planes when I use private planes.”

A mentality of evading the attention is the most likely, which would have been in full force back in the 90s when he chose his daily to be a Peugeot 205 GTI.

A Fortification on Wheels

But life as a billionaire can be risky, and Arnault’s Peugeot is far from ordinary. It was transformed into a moving fortress with level two armoured protection, including bulletproof windows and heavy steel plating. Interior upgrades added to the kingly luxury with handmade leather, air conditioning, and power steering, because even undercover billionaires must be comfortable enough.

Bernard Arnault's Peugeot 205 interior

All this armour bolted around the car brought its weight up to around 1,400 kg— that is quite some departure from the nimble base model. For Arnault, however, the performance-versus-security balancing act was clearly worth it.

The car’s value has only appreciated over time. It was sold to a private collector for $41,000 USD in 2009 after being in the Arnault stable for several years. When it crossed the block in 2018, the new owner put only 100 miles on it over six years — proof positive it was a prized collectable rather than a daily driver. Today, this piece of automotive history is valued at $66,000 USD, a price that reflects not just its unique modifications but also its connection to one of the world’s most enigmatic billionaires.

The Surge of the Classic Car Market

A vintage ferrari

While cutting-edge technology in modern cars dazzles, the classic car market roars on, poised to touch $51 billion USD by 2028 . What fuels this passion is a mix of nostalgia, investment potential, and raw emotional appeal, holding enthusiasts in its grip. This sector represents an unrivalled opportunity for financial return or simply the unadulterated thrill of owning a slice of history.

Take Bernard Arnault’s 1990 Peugeot 205 GTI—an extremely rare opportunity not simply to own a car but to get your hands on a piece of billionaire lore and automotive legend.
