where the money comes from
Louboutin's fortune comes from the luxury footwear and fashion house he co-founded in 1991, best known for women's stiletto heels with a signature red lacquered sole. The company has expanded into menswear, handbags, leather goods, and beauty, operating around 150 boutiques worldwide.
In 2021 he sold a roughly 24% stake in the privately held company to the investment firm Exor for $643 million, a deal that valued the business at about $2.73 billion, with Louboutin and his partner retaining the majority.
