Description:
After four decades of keeping his well-heeled clients in his iconic red-soled heels, shoe designer Christian Louboutin is now a billionaire. The 61-year-old designer is stepping into the billionaire ranks thanks to his eponymous fashion brand. While still best-known for its towering stilettos and perilous platforms, the Louboutin brand has expanded into sneakers, bags, and beauty products, as well as lines for men and children.<br/><br/>The company was valued at $3.2 billion last year by Exor, the investment company of Italy’s Agnelli family, which bought a 24% stake in 2021 for about $650 million. Louboutin still owns 35%—which Forbes values at $1.1 billion. That stake makes up most of an estimated $1.2 billion fortune that includes other investments such as the Vermelho Hotel, a luxury resort he opened in southern Portugal last year. Representatives for Louboutin didn’t respond to requests for a comment on the valuation.<br/><br/>Read the full story on Forbes:<br/>https://www.forbes.com/sites/giacomotognini/2024/04/01/christian-louboutin-net-worth-billionaire-shoe-designer/<br/><br/>Subscribe to FORBES: https://www.youtube.com/user/Forbes?sub_confirmation=1<br/><br/>Fuel your success with Forbes.

_dog-loves-riding-on-owner39s-harley-davidson-and-has-own-seat-and-goggles.webp "Meet the dog who loves riding around on his owner's Harley-Davidson - and even has his own seat and goggles for his adventures.<br/><br/>Joe Bughman, 61, built a custom dog seat when he spotted rescue dog Oreo wasn't scared when he started the huge bike's 1150cc engine. <br/><br/>Intrigued Oreo hopped right in - even resting his paws on the seat back rest to get comfy.<br/><br/>And now Joe and Oreo go everywhere together - with the pooch even learning how to shift his weight when going round corners.<br/><br/>Now the pair have been riding together for five years and the local celebrities are often spotted out and about. <br/><br/>Battery technician Joe, from Dubuke, Iowa, said: “He's a natural – he's funny. He's honestly the coolest dog ever. <br/><br/>“Most dogs would run away when you start a Harley because they’re so loud. <br/><br/>“Oreo would start following me around and I thought he wanted a ride. <br/><br/>“I fabricated an aluminium box which I mounted on the rack on the back of bike – and the rest was history. <br/><br/>“He loves it. He’s never tried to jump out - he's gotten so used to riding now he rides partially with his front paws on my back rest to see over my shoulder. <br/><br/>“He’s a good rider, he knows how to shift his weight and he’s pretty amazing.” <br/><br/>Joe, wife Penny, 60, and their two daughters adopted Oreo from the local humane society after Joe provided volunteer welding services.<br/><br/>Abbey, 18 and sister Erin, 21, chose the pup – who they believe is a black Lab and weiner dog mix – and Joe says he had his doubts initially. <br/><br/>But Oreo quickly won him round and now the pair are inseparable.<br/><br/>Battery technician Joe bought his Harley Road King brand new in 2003 for £20k and says he’s owned bikes since he was 12. <br/><br/>Joe and Oreo ride from spring to autumn – with Joe saying they’re on the bike “full time”. <br/><br/>“Every time I take him out, I’m surprised it hasn’t caused a car crash, people are so distracted,” said Joe. <br/><br/>“He just wants to do anything I'm doing. If I climb into a go-kart or anything the dog wants some of that. <br/><br/>“Most girls will say 'that's the cutest thing I've ever seen in my life' - my standard answer is 'why thank you, but what do you think of the dog'. <br/><br/>“I can walk out into the garage and bump the starter on the Harley and that dog will come running down the hallway every time - it's the funniest thing to see.”")
