The sister of Aerin Lauder, another lady to make this list, Jane is worth more than her sister. They’re both heiresses to the Estée Lauder cosmetics company fortune and Jane is the global president and general manager for the brand.

Anna Getty – $2.4 Billion
Anna is often referred to as the Russian Paris Hilton, and with good reason. Her dad, Vasily Anisimov, is a billionaire businessman who has made his fortune in a variety of industries, including real estate like the Hilton family.

Marie Besnier Beauvalot – $6.8 Billion
You’ve probably heard of the company that Sara founded, especially if you’re a woman yourself. Spanx is her creation, and the business now makes various clothing, including intimate apparel, pants, and leggings.
In the past, Time Magazine has named her one of the most 100 influential people in the world and Forbes has also listed her as one of the most powerful women in the world.

After having her company valued at $1.2 billion, she gifted every employee two first-class tickets to anywhere in the world, as well as $10,000.
Kylie Jenner – $1 Billion
Marie’s grandfather, André Besnier, founded the company Lactalis, which is the largest dairy products group in the entire world. Her father was the CEO and now Marie and two brothers own the business.

Delphine Arnault Gancia – $26 Billion
Back in 2018, Kylie was on the cover of Forbes magazine, and it stated that she was to become the United States’ youngest self-made billionaire. That claim caught a lot of flak due to the family name.
“Self-made” rubbed a lot of people the wrong way and several sources still put her net worth at less than one billion dollars. Regardless, the reality TV star has a successful cosmetics brand title Kylie Cosmetics.
Denise Coates – $6.5 Billion
Delphine’s father, Bernard Arnault, is the chairman and CEO of Louis Vuitton and the chairman of Christian Dior SE. He’s worth $184 billion, and his daughter used that connection to get into the business herself.

Petra Ecclestone – $3.6 Billion
Georgina is the daughter of Michael Bloomberg, the former mayor of New York City and co-founder of Bloomberg. The company is a financial, software, data, and media business and Michael is worth $59 billion himself.

Donatella Versace – $400 Million
The other daughter of Bernie Ecclestone, Petra is a lot like Tamara, at least when it comes to her titles. She is also a socialite and model, as well as a fashion designer who was known as Petra Stunt before a divorce.
Petra has stated that she decided to go into men’s fashion, as opposed to womenswear because the female side was too saturated. At one point, she created her own label and has worked with a manufacturer.

Lynsi Snyder – $3.6 Billion
Lee is the president of Cheil Industries, a textile manufacturer. Since taking over the lead of the company in 2015, she has expanded it into fashion and even bought the brand Colombo Via Della Spiga.
She also merged with Samsung SDI and Samsung Everland, making them the leading producer of energy storage solutions. That likely was thanks to her father, Lee Kun-hee, who was the chairman of Samsung Electronics.
Athina Onassis – $1.1 Billion
Lynsi received the In-N-Out Burger fortune as part of her inheritance when she turned 35 years old back in 2017. She became the sole owner of the fast-food chain that has grown to more than 350 locations.

She did roll with a Ralph Lauren design for her wedding dress when she got married, though. Dylan explained that her father taught her how to be business-savvy and entrepreneurial, hence starting her own company.
Alexandra Andresen – $1.4 Billion
Charlotte is the second child of Caroline, Princess of Hanover, and the Italian industrialist Stefano Casiraghi. The model who has worked with Chanel and Gucci is also eleventh in line to the throne of Monaco.
Her love for equestrianism may have helped her secure a modeling contract with Gucci. In 2010, she became the official ambassador for the equestrian collections of Gucci and later became the face of Gucci Cosmetics.
Perenna Kei – $1.3 Billion
In 2016, Alexandra became the world’s youngest billionaire, regardless of gender, when she was still a teenager at age 19 according to Forbes. She went on to hold that same title on the Forbes list for three straight years.

Back in 2014, at the age of 24, Kei was named by Forbes as the youngest billionaire in the world. This was thanks mostly to the way that Logan Property Holdings was set up, with her initially as the sole shareholder.
Laurene Powell Jobs – $20.2 Billion

Katharina, who was born in 1995, is one of the youngest billionaires in the entire world. Her father Johan put 42% of the family business Ferd, a major player in the tobacco industry, in her name and 42% in her sister’s name.
Johan still runs the company, though, and he has 70% of the votes due to a dual-class share structure.
The company manages hedge funds, is an investor on the Nordic stock exchange, and also has private equity investments.
Zhou Qunfei – $14.3 Billion
Margarita’s story is one of the rags to riches as she grew up in an orphanage. She met Robert Louis-Dreyfus, her future billionaire husband, on an airplane and is now second cousins with actress Julia Louis-Dreyfus.

Sandra Ortega Mera – $7.6 Billion
One of the richest women in China and the world’s richest self-made woman, Zhou has a lot to brag about. In another rag to riches story, she grew up poor, her mom died young and her dad was injured at work.
Despite everything stacked against her, Zhou became a successful entrepreneur and founded Lens Technology, which creates touch screens. The company is a supplier to major companies like Apple and Samsung.
Yang Huiyan – $33.6 Billion
In 2013, it was likely a bittersweet feeling when Sandra inherited her family’s fortune because that meant her mother had passed away. She instantly became Spain’s richest woman when this happened, though.
Her father, Amancio Ortega Gaona, is one of the richest people in the world and is worth over $80 billion. She also has a stake in his company, Inditex fashion group, which includes top-of-the-line brands like Zara.
Susanne Klatten – $29.7 Billion
Yang’s father, Yang Guoqiang, founded a real estate company by the name of Country Garden Holdings, which he eventually transferred over to her. This helped Yang become the richest woman in all of Asia.
The business started selling shares and raised over $400 million at the time, which increased Yang’s net worth by a lot. In fact, her wealth skyrocketed by more than $2 billion in the first few trading days of that year.
Abigail Pierrepont Johnson – $20.9 Billion
Another heiress, Susanne is the richest woman in all of Germany and she inherited the auto company BMW when her parents passed away. She now owns half of the company, while her brother owns the other half.

Abigail is the CEO and President of Fidelity Investments, as well as the chairman of that company and Fidelity International. Her grandfather, Edward C. Johnson II, founded Fidelity and her dad Ned is also in the business.

Josie Ho – $7 Billion
Hind is the daughter of Rafik Hariri, a Lebanese businessman. Tragically, he was killed and as a result, Hind inherited his fortune following his untimely passing. Her dad was the Prime Minister of Lebanon at one point.

Josie’s father, Stanley Ho, is the owner of a variety of casinos in Macau and is known as “The King of Gambling.” His daughter got into acting and singing and has had dozens of film and TV roles over the years.

Amy Wyss – $2 Billion
A woman with a long and well-known name, Ana’s great-grandfather founded Itau, which is one of the biggest banks in Brazil. Upon a merge with Unibanco, they became Itau-Unibanco, the largest non-state bank in Latin America.

Her brother Karl-Johan was appointed chairman of the board in 2020 and Charlotte works on sponsorships for the brand. Another brother, Tom Persson, and her aunt Lottie Tham are also billionaires themselves.
Chloe owes the vast majority of the family fortune to her dad, Sir Philip Green. This man owns Dorothy Perkins, Miss Selfridge, Topman, Topshop, and several other British retailers through the Arcadia Group.
The Green family has some bad press, though, and there has even been a vote to strip Philip of his knighthood. Among other negative stories, they let their home retailer company fold, which put pensions for workers at risk.
