LVMH Acquires French Media Group Bey Médias
NEWSMAKER: LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton is continuing to expand its media footprint with the acquisition of French media group Bey Médias. Financial details of the deal were not disclosed. More from WWD Moynat Opens Avenue Montaigne Boutique Jonathan Anderson's Dior Debut Draws Daniel Craig, Robert Pattinson, TXT and Rihanna Jonathan Anderson on Building His Dior World, One Show at a Time The luxury group was already a minority shareholder of the company, which publishes daily newspaper L'Opinion and financial news website L'Agefi. It has bought the stakes of founder Nicolas Beytout as well as those of other shareholders including Théthys, which is owned by L'Oréal's Bettencourt founding family; American businessman Ken Fisher, and Dow Jones, the group owned by media titan Rupert Murdoch. According to sources with knowledge of the matter, the acquisition was done through the group's Ufipar subsidiary. L'Opinion and L'Agefi will be in an entity distinct from the Les Échos – Le Parisien group. It is understood that the publications' editorial structures and teams would remain in place. Beytout will continue to serve as the media group's president as well as president and publishing director of L'Opinion, with Rémi Godeau remaining as editor in chief. Meanwhile, Alexandre Garabedian is staying as editorial director of L'Agefi. L'Opinion and parent company Bey Médias were created in 2013 by Beytout, former president of Les Echos – purchased by LVMH in 2007 – and former editorial director of Le Figaro. At the time, they received financing from the French luxury group to launch. Known for its liberal and pro-European stance, it has a partnership with Dow Jones-owned Wall Street Journal, allowing it to translate and publish articles drawn from the American publication. In 2019, Bey Médias acquired L'Agefi, a 114-year-old publication then owned by Artémis, the Pinault family's holding company. Last year, the media group entered unsuccessful negotiations with Czech billionaire businessman Daniel Kretinsky. Prior to that, it was in talks with French-Lebanese global transport tycoon Rodolphe Saadé, who owns several media including business news site La Tribune and TV channel BFMTV. LVMH also owns French people magazine Paris Match, acquired in October, and has owned daily newspaper Le Parisien and its national counterpart, Aujourd'hui en France, since 2015.

‘90s heartthrob David Charvet reveals why he fled Hollywood after ‘Baywatch' fame
Life's a beach. Former 'Baywatch' star David Charvet walked away from Hollywood to work in construction — and has no regrets. 'I don't miss the fame,' Charvet, 53, told People. 'I don't miss the workload that we had because we used to work a lot, and it's very hard to raise a family that way. I commend all of the actors who have families that are able to balance that.' 9 David Charvet with Nicole Eggert in 'Baywatch.' Courtesy Everett Collection 9 Pamela Anderson and David Charvet in 'Baywatch.' Courtesy Everett Collection Charvet famously dated 'Baywatch' co-star Pamela Anderson, 58, in 1992. The French born actor was on the show from 1992 to 1995, playing Matt Brody. 'I miss the camaraderie that I had with the people on the sets,' he told the outlet. 'I had old-school producers and old-school people that worked as a unit, and it was a real family.' In the 2017 'Baywatch' movie, Zac Efron played that character. 9 David Charvet in California in June 2025. WCP,4cnrs / BACKGRID After 'Baywatch,' Charvet was on 'Melrose Place' from 1996 to 1998. He also appeared on shows like 'Seduced and Betrayed' and the 2009 ABC reality show 'The Superstars' and briefly had a music career in France. Charvet tied the knot with actress and model Brooke Burke in 2011, and welcomed daughter Heaven, now 18, and son Shaya, now 18, before they divorced in 2020. 9 Brooke Burke-Charvet and David Charvet attend Operation Smile's Annual Smile Gala – Inside at the Broad Stage in Santa Monica, California, on September 9, 2017.

'It was one way for me to leave Hollywood and to still be creative,' he told the outlet about his business, which builds luxury homes in Los Angeles. 'It was also one way for me to ensure that I would be home every morning and home every night so that I could raise my two children.' 9 Nicole Eggert, David Hasselhoff, Alexandra Paul, David Charvet, and Pamela Anderson in 'Baywatch.'

Getty Images for Operation Smile The former '90s heartthrob said he noticed that films and TV shows were increasingly being made outside of LA, which would have taken him away from his loved ones. 'The goal was when I got my children, when they were born, was that I was going to be hands-on. I promised Brooke that I would be that man,' he explained. 'I wouldn't change anything.' 'I have to say that what I've experienced with my kids and what I've experienced in the last 17 years has definitely made me a better man,' Charvet continued. '[It] has made me understand what it is to have real relationships and be able to treat people kindly and have more of a humble approach in life.' 'Baywatch' ran for 11 seasons from 1989 to 2001. The show also starred David Hasselhoff, Jeremy Jackson, Yasmine Bleeth, the late Michael Newman and Nicole Eggert.
