According to a top source, LVMH's boss Bernard Arnault is leading the race to become Time magazine's Person of the Year in 2024. But while the business man's fans are thrilled with the news, many people hold a very different opinion.
UPDATE 21/11/2024 : This story seems to be false. (read more)
Why not Arnault for Person of the Year?
The list of nominees for Time magazine’s Person of the Year is always an eclectic mix of world leaders, pop culture icons, buzzworthy names, and human rights activists. The unexpected inclusion of the 75-year-old business man, as a 2024 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.
“What makes Arnault so important is the potential and influence he now has, rather than anything he has already done,” said a panelist who preferred to remain anonymous, adding that earlier this month, the business man have already been named ‘French Of The Year’ by some major French newspapers and even ‘Roubaix Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in Roubaix (Bernard Arnault's hometown).
Social Reactions to TIME’s Person of the Year
A representative for the business man was not immediately available for comment, but the announcement generated immediate reaction on Twitter:
“#ArnaultPOY. Logical choice though I wouldn't have made the same one.”

“Great choice! Long overdue recognition for his talents. #LoveBernard”
— @BarbaraHeyboer, 20 Nov 2024
“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Bernard Arnault?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 20 Nov 2024
Could 2024 officially be the Year of Bernard Arnault?
Still, TIME’s editors will make the final decision about who will grace the magazine’s cover as its 2024 Person of the Year.
Who do you think should be TIME’s Person of the Year for 2024?
