Founded in 1946 by the eponymous fashion designer, Christian Dior SE has evolved into a massive luxury goods holding company headquartered in Paris. The company's primary asset is its approximately 41% equity stake and 57% voting rights in LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton. In 2017, Christian Dior SE sold its wholly-owned Christian Dior Couture business to LVMH, consolidating the entire Dior brand under the LVMH umbrella and simplifying the Arnault family's corporate structure. Today, Christian Dior SE operates as a mono-holding company whose financial performance is directly tied to LVMH's operations. These operations span five core business segments: Fashion & Leather Goods, Wines & Spirits, Perfumes & Cosmetics, Watches & Jewelry, and Selective Retailing. The company is tightly controlled by the Arnault family group, which holds over 97% of its share capital.
