|---|---|---|---|---|
Arnault family group (Bernard Arnault & family) Ultimate beneficial owner of Financière Agache SA via 100% ownership of its parent Agache SCA. Agache SCA’s share capital is entirely held by the Arnault family group, and Agache (formerly Groupe Arnault) describes Financière Agache as its 100%-owned subsidiary. Control of Agache SCA is exercised by general partner Agache Commandité SAS, whose capital is held equally by Bernard Arnault’s five children following the 2022 reorganization, but the economic capital remains within the Arnault family group. | Family | 100.0% | 100.0% | Jul 2022 |
Agache SCA Direct parent and sole shareholder of Financière Agache SA.

Agache SCA is itself the Arnault family’s main holding vehicle above Christian Dior SE and LVMH. | Corporate | 100.0% | 100.0% | — |
Agache
Major Shareholders
| Name | Type | Ownership | As of |
|---|---|---|---|
Arnault family group (Bernard Arnault and his five children) Agache SCA’s capital and its general-partner vehicle Agache Commandité SAS are effectively controlled by Bernard Arnault and his five children, who own Agache Commandité SAS in equal parts. AMF filings on the 2022 reorganisation state that Agache’s share capital is entirely held by the Arnault family group as limited partners, with management control exercised by Agache Commandité; later governance reporting indicates that, after reserving a 19% limited-partner stake for Dominique Arnault’s children, the residual c.81% of Agache’s capital is attributable to this core Arnault branch. Shares are generally locked until around 2052, and Bernard Arnault retains unlimited management powers through Agache Commandité into advanced age, ensuring continued family control. | Family | 81.0% | Oct 2023 |
Watine-Arnault family branch (Ludovic and Stéphanie Watine) Public succession-governance analyses of the Arnault structure report that Ludovic and Stéphanie Watine, the children of Bernard Arnault’s late sister Dominique, are limited partners in Agache with purely economic (patrimonial) rights and no management authority, together holding about 19% of the holding company’s capital. This 19% stake is repeatedly cited as their combined interest in Agache in coverage of the 2023 restructuring that locked family ownership for roughly 30 years. | Family | 19.0% | Oct 2023 |
