Primary Evidence

"Determination for what? After twenty years during which he has built the world's leading luxury group, what will be his model for the second part of his professional life? Does he see a future like Donald Trump, the American billionaire who is anxious and sensitive, to whom he has often been compared? Will he evolve like Howard Hughes, the brilliant aviator who ended his life cloistered, locked in fear and hatred of others? Or like Marcel Boussac, the man whose empire he inherited, the one he saw as a child from his father's 203, and who accumulated wealth only to lose it all in the evening of his life? At fifty-three, Bernard Arnault offers the example of total success. Decorated, adored, feared, he possesses everything, has everything and everyone at his disposal. But he still lacks the depth, the distance from himself, the tolerance, the relaxation, even the humor that are the hallmark of accomplished men. The exterminating angel still has to learn the taste of others."

"He tussled with Donald Trump in New York, was feted by Boris Johnson in London, and did business with Prince Alwaleed bin Talal in the Middle East."

"Most people need to work to support themselves or their families; Heatley did not. He and Katherine could afford to do whatever they wanted and to go anywhere in the world. They decided to get out of Auckland and travel for two years with a teacher for the children and an open mind about where they might settle. If somewhere appealed to them, they would stay. If not, they would come home. They started in Whistler, Canada, then travelled through the US, at one stage renting a house in Florida next door to Mar-a-Lago, which would later become famous as US President Donald Trump’s private club."

"The interviewing process for the project-manager candidates was interesting. Two of the most eligible candidates had previously worked for Donald Trump. They were not too fond of the man and described his practices as “highly suspect”."
