PARIS, Dec ⁠17 (Reuters) - LVMH ⁠CEO ‍Bernard Arnault said he was hoping he ‍would be able to make ​another ten years when asked ​about his succession plans for the world's biggest luxury group.

"Talk to me again ​in 10 years, I can give you a more ​precise answer," Arnault, 76, told broadcaster ‌CNBC in an interview, referring to his latest mandate ​extension, approved by ⁠shareholders earlier this year.

"I hope ... that I will ‌make these 10 years," he said.

Commenting on the role ‌of his five children at the ‌family-controlled luxury giant, Arnault gave little insight on who could take over ‍the helm.

"For getting responsibility, they have to merit ⁠the responsibility and to prove they can do it," Arnault said.
