Dior is ultimately controlled by Bernard Arnault and his family through their holding company (Groupe Arnault), which controls Christian Dior SE, the listed holding company at the top of the Dior/LVMH structure.

Who owns Dior today?

  • Christian Dior SE is the French luxury holding company commonly referred to as Dior.
  • Christian Dior SE in turn controls a large stake in LVMH (Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton), the world’s biggest luxury group, and also owns the Dior couture business.
  • Bernard Arnault and his family, via Groupe Arnault, are the main shareholders controlling Christian Dior SE and therefore effectively “own” Dior in corporate-control terms.

How the structure works (quick version)

  • Christian Dior SE: public holding company, associated with the Dior brand and sitting above parts of the LVMH group.
  • LVMH: luxury conglomerate that includes Dior (perfumes, cosmetics, fashion) alongside brands like Louis Vuitton and Fendi.
  • Arnault family: controls Christian Dior SE and holds additional direct stakes in LVMH, giving Bernard Arnault dominant voting power across the group.

In simple terms: the Dior brand you see on fashion, bags, and perfumes sits inside a luxury empire run and controlled by Bernard Arnault and his family through Christian Dior SE and LVMH.
