Bernard Arnault and François-Henri Pinault, two billionaire moguls, are making moves to establish a presence in Hollywood. Pinault has purchased a majority stake in the CAA talent agency, while Arnault has launched a new entertainment studio called 22 Montaigne Entertainment.

In truth, we can't be certain that these so-called highest prices are actually the topmost, because there is a healthy market in private sales outside of auctions, team stores, eBay shops, and trading conferences. Goldin's main rival is Chris Ivy, director of sports at Heritage Auctions, which sold the $12.6 million Mickey Mantle card for Giordano. He tells Robb Report that the record price - not just for a baseball card but for any piece of sports memorabilia - couldn't help but remind him of all the Mickey Mantle cards he'd once clipped to bicycle-wheel spokes or traded with friends. Prices have skyrocketed with sale after record-breaking sale, causing many a baby boomer to rue the day their mother threw out their baseball-card collection with the trash.

Objets Nomades now differentiates Louis Vuitton from the crowd of luxury-brand competitors - with one exception. FEATURES WHEN MICHAEL BURKE arrived as chairman and chief executive of Louis Vuitton in 2012, an idea had been bouncing around the French luxury-goods maker for several years: Why not sell the many furnishings that decorated the legacy brand's stores? Burke credits the artful, lighthearted collection with opening Vuitton's doors to the world's youngest generation of self-made wealth - clients in their 30s and 40s who place orders from $100,000 to $1 million. In time, just as Abloh and Ghesquière take inspiration from the legacy trunks - locks one season, logo canvas another - Burke hopes Objets will fuel creativity down the road.

FEATURES SHOCK WAVES REVERBERATED THROUGH philanthropy circles this past June when the renowned Annenberg Space for Photography in Los Angeles announced it was shutting down. Well-known benefactor Wallis Annenberg, who, as the name suggests, had financed the exhibi-tion space since its debut in 2009, had pulled the plug, deciding to redirect her family foun-dation's considerable resources toward Covid-19 and social-justice issues.

LVMH chairman and CEO Bernard Arnault cited her ecofriendly approach as a reason for his company's investment in her label last summer, after McCartney split from rival Kering. "We are convinced of the great long-term potential of her house", Arnault said in July, noting that he expects McCartney's focus on sustainability and ethical issues to help guide LVMH. Her responsibilities advising Arnault and LVMH's executive committee will go beyond implementing more sustainable materials, the company says, to advising broadly on potential initiatives.

Chances are, if you buy a Libertine coat with a 19th-century-ish horse show ribbon stitched to the collar, or a silk-printed poem slicked across the back, Hartig himself sewed the ribbon or selected the verse. Soon the local boutiques Maxfield and Ron Herman were selling the shirts for $500, buying them out of pillowcases hauled around by the designer, Johnson Hartig.
