Four fun facts: → $LVMH's market cap is 50% larger than the bottom 10 companies *combined*. → $RMS is by far the largest single-brand company on the list, 3.5x the size of $RACE for example. → Despite owning 10+ brands including iconic maisons such as Gucci, Saint Laurent, and Bottega Veneta, $KER's revenue is "only" ~€20B, compared to Hermès' >€13B. → Tiffany & Co. got acquired by LVMH during the pandemic at a $16B valuation, which would place them at #7 on this list.
