excuse the c/p... gerard, or guy as he goes by with friends, is 29 and the only son of bernard arnault (ceo of lvmh). he has an older sister who is deeply involved in the family business and three younger half sisters from his father's second marriage. he grew up in paris with luxury at his fingertips, being doted on by his mother and step-mother, while his father tried to groom him for business that he has little interest in. he doesn't take much too seriously, especially his responsibility to the arnault name and business (to the absolute chagrin of his dad and older sister) and instead is far more content to travel and do what he considers "his part" by occasionally modeling for their brands and being a "taste maker." he's kind of weirdly formal, has a very dry and dark sense of humor, and can be kind of opinionated and haughty about everything in life. he's turning 30 next year and is pretending he doesn't really need to be an adult and actually get his life together. he's well known for lavish parties and events, his commentary on fashion and for dating ~christiane on and off for years.
