The impact of the war was not limited to market disruptions but extended to the fortunes of the world's top billionaires. One of the most affected was French billionaire Bernard Arnault, founder, chairman, and CEO of LVMH, and the richest man in Europe, who suffered losses estimated at around $50 billion during the first three months of 2026, according to Forbes estimates. This sharp decline coincided with a nearly 26% drop in the group's stock, marking its worst start to a year in history, along with a 16% decrease in revenue compared to the last quarter of 2025, due to the war crisis and consumers' retreat from purchasing luxury goods. The pressures did not stop there; the stock continues its steep downward trajectory, surpassing in severity periods of major crises such as the 2008 global financial crisis, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the internet bubble burst. As a result, Arnault's wealth, which owns about 50% of LVMH shares, along with minority stakes in Hermès and Birkenstock, declined from a peak of $233 billion to approximately $151 billion currently. According to Forbes estimates, this decline has dropped him to the ninth position globally among the world's wealthiest, after having topped the list intermittently between 2019 and 2024. $BTC $GT ‌$XRP

XRP at $1.39 now, but people keep debating whether $100 is realistic or just an illusion. I think the real question isn't whether it will reach that level or not, but what the correct setup is to take advantage of this cycle. What makes XRP different is that it doesn't rely on pure hype. While most crypto assets fluctuate based on viral sentiment, XRP is focused on serious things: real payment infrastructure, bank settlements, institutional adoption. That’s not sexy for Twitter posts, but it’s exactly what moves patient capital. I saw many people nervous about the upcoming US payroll data release. Of course, it will shake up the market, generate volatility, fear, that typical chaos. But here’s the detail that separates those who profit from those who lose: these macro noise moments are when assets with strong fundamentals tend to quietly accumulate. The ideal setup isn’t about chasing obvious moves. It’s about recognizing when liquidity + utility + speed are positioned in a unique way, like XRP is. The biggest gains are rarely clear when they matter most — they grow slowly, during patience, while most are distracted or scared. So yes, $100 is possible? Maybe. But the point is: ignoring assets with solid fundamentals during macro-critical phases has never ended well for anyone. Stay disciplined, think in cycles, not days. The market always rewards those who come prepared.
