Although Carcelle resigned from his role as Vuitton CEO in November 2012 (a position that he had held since 1990), he still works for the French company as vice chairman of art museum Fondation Louis Vuitton - which will open next year in Paris. He also remains on the LVMH executive committee.

Other names to make the annual list include Anthony Chalhoub, Chalhoub Group CEO, and Guerlain perfurmer Thierry Wasser - both of whom were awarded knighthoods, WWD  reports.
