Four Institutions Measured Luxury in 2025. All Four Found the Same Split.

Watches, art, diamonds and LVMH. In every set of figures value holds at the top while volume falls underneath, which means fewer and dearer transactions and a middle with nothing defending it.

Rich & Richer holds no inventory in anything it prices and takes no dealer, agency or auction commissions. Some outbound links may earn us a commission if you buy through them. That never changes a ranking, and it never changes a published figure.

Prices are the asking or realized figures published by the named sources on the date stated in each piece. They are not offers or appraisals, and they move. Figures we calculate ourselves are marked as ours, and the arithmetic behind them is described in the piece.

Nothing here is investment, financial, legal or tax advice, and no piece is a recommendation to buy or sell anything. What a thing cost yesterday is not a statement about what it will be worth tomorrow.

Brand and model names belong to their owners and are used only to identify what is being priced. Outbound links are given for reference, and we do not control what those sites publish or charge.
