New Delhi(CNN Business)Bill Gates is no longer the world's second-richest person. That title now belongs to French billionaire Bernard Arnault.

Arnault, the CEO of luxury goods maker LVMH (LVMHF), overtook Gates Tuesday on the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. It's the first time since the index was created seven years ago that Gates has dropped out of the top two.

Arnault has a net worth of around $108 billion, according to the index, having added $39 billion to his fortune in the past year. Microsoft (MSFT) founder Gates is worth $107 billion.

The two men have also traded spots on another billionaires' list published by Forbes.

Arnault has built LVMH into a global luxury powerhouse that controls brands such as Louis Vuitton, Christian Dior and Givenchy. It's also the home of Champagne brand Dom Pérignon and beauty retailer Sephora.

The 70-year-old made headlines earlier this year when he committed €200 million ($224 million) to the rebuilding of Paris' Notre Dame cathedral.
