Chanel has had remarkable growth in recent years.

In 2023, it generated more revenue than Hermès $RMS.PA and approximately the same amount as Kering $KER.PA and Richemont $CFR.SW, at around $20 billion. The 114 year-old luxury giant is privately owned by the Wertheimer brothers, whose grandfather was a business partner of Coco Chanel.
