Bentley shareholders 🤝 the working class, allies in the fight against capitalism. permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] slurpeesoforion@startrek.website 4 points 2 years ago (1 child) Bentley can only be successful if they sell cars. If their consumer base is stagnant or shrinking, they can't increase units or profits. But the more consumers can afford a Bentley, the less exclusive Bentley becomes. I don't know if Bentley is privately held. But if i was a shareholder, I'd be looking to push that market share. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago Bentley is owned by VW as a subsidiary of Audi permalink fedilink source parent
