Unlike a long list of male bigwigs, ladies at the top one percent are not all household names. Today, it's time to expose the glamorous and savvy alike. All that glitters is not gold, but these gals are definitely made of it!
Marie Besnier Beauvalot: $6.1 Billion
Not the average French milk maid, Marie Besnier Beauvalot has inherited most of a dairy company called Lactalis. That means unlimited access to Babybel bites and Président brie cheese — what made the company popular, to begin with! What is Marie up to, when she's not enjoying a slice?
She’s been named the world’s most beautiful billionaire, for one. But her private life is actually private. Marie is a married woman and a designer in Laval, Mayenne, France, and she keeps it low key. Never a tabloid fixture, only locals know the truth!
Compare what the wealthiest women in the world think about modern life, love, and business — next!
Josie Ho: $3.6 Billion
Josie Ho is the daughter of Stanley Ho, who owns many casinos in Macau. Her dad dominated that market until he became “The King of Gambling” in the industry. But Josie is not just an heiress to a fortune, as easy as that would be. She's a singer and an actress, dubbed the “queen of rock” by locals in Hong Kong!
Growing up, Josie was wealthy — but not nearly this edgy. She explained: “I was a chubby nerd and everyone knew who my family was...I had heavy asthma and allergies...I just wanted to fit in but I was left out by the popular kids.” A lot has happened since then, no doubt!
Alannah Weston: $8.7 Billion
Alannah Weston comes from a very wealthy home, indeed. The family built their fortune through a chain of supermarkets and bakeries, and the profit really added up. The Westons are now the second wealthiest family in Canada! Heard of Selfridges?
On being the daughter of a billionaire, Alannah shared: "My parents brought me up to be grounded. I was raised to work and not to have a sense of entitlement. A person should be judged on their achievements and talents, not on who their family is." Alannah jumped right in, as the creative director for Selfridges. It's true that she didn't have to work to eat. But some people are just not content with rich, glamorous, and bored!
Samantha Kluge: $9.5 Billion
Samantha Kluge is worth $9.5 billion. Why? Well, it helps to be the daughter of John Klug, who was at one point the wealthiest man in America! While her father has passed away, Miss Kluge continues the family line with one son. She's been divorced three times, but still on the market!
An NYC socialite in her 20's, Sam has since relocated to California. She explained: "I left in the wake of a bad divorce, and I needed a fresh start. I found that here...I was very self-involved and self-obsessed in New York, but I hadn’t excavated my true self yet." These days, the heiress says she has more clarity. And of course, billions in the bank!
Georgina Bloomberg: $11.5 Billion
Michael Bloomberg is the former mayor of New York City. His daughter is Georgina, is worth $11.5 billion so far! As a sponsored horse rider in Ariat International, she definitely knows her passion. Georgina is a seasoned professional! But was she always happy as a wealthy daughter?
She explained: "When I was a teenager I hated having Bloomberg as a last name and being seen simply as someone's daughter. I used to shy away from it in every way. As I got older, I began to realize that it was something I could use to make a difference in the causes I cared about. I learned to be proud of my last name." Indeed, it's a good one!
Anna Getty: Unspecified Billions
Anna Getty has a lot on her plate. She is worth billions as the great grand daughter of Paul Getty, the man who founded Getty Oil Company. Not a bad business, to have in the family: Rumor has it, oil is in demand! But besides being involved with this core product, Anna has other professional passions. What's she really into, these days?
As a former yoga instructor, she loves health and wellness. Plus, she's really into plants! Anna shared: "During my teenage years, I rebelled and ate everything under the sun, but when I was 18 or 19, I became vegetarian-focused and got disgusted by meat." Now, she's started a line of eco-friendly products. Self funded, of course!
Hind Hariri: $1.1 Billion
Hind Harari achieved her fortune in a sad way, really. Her father, Rafik Hariri, was a Lebanese businessman and the former Prime Minister. But he was killed in a car bomb! As a result, she inherited his wealth at a very young age. Always on the list of the World's Richest Arabs, Hind actually holds the title as the youngest Arab billionaire out there!
With a husband and two sons, Hind stays out of the spotlight most of the time — especially with the political violence of the recent past. But she did emerge to campaign for her brother when he ran for Parliament in 2006. He's a billionaire too! And surprise: There's still one more billionaire bro, completing a very, very wealthy trio.
Christy Walton: $7.4 Billion
Yes, Christy Walton is worth an astounding sum. But her lifestyle is surprisingly down to earth! That should come as no surprise to anyone observing the Walton family over the years. Walmart founder Sam Walton famously drove around in a 1979 Ford F150 pickup truck to the very end!
But who is Christy, in that tangled family tree? As it turns out, she is actually the widow of John Walton, the son of Sam. Today, Christy prefers to donate to charities and live a conservative lifestyle. She actually raised her now 29-year-old son, Lukas, in a blue-collar town: No one even knew he was was the son of a billionaire! Of course, the secret is out now. Sneaky stuff, but mom really pulled it off!
Delphine Arnault Gancia: $26 Billion
Delphine Arnault Gancia is one fearsome businesswoman, but she had a nice start right in the family. Her father, Bernard Arnault, is none other than the vice president and director of Louis Vuitton. Following in his patent leather footsteps, Delphine went to school for her business degree at the London School of Economics. And she had just the job lined up for graduation!
Delphine started working with the family business in 2000, and has a seat on the board of directors. According to the heiress: "I'm lucky that it's about fashion and perfume and cosmetics. If my father had owned a tire company, I don't know what I would have done." It's true, the Michelin man is way less glam!
Amanda Hearst: $100 Million
Amanda Hearst is definitely on this list of well to do women. Maybe that's because her family is worth $8.7 billion! Because of great grand-daddy William Randolph Hearst, the clan has been knee deep in the news biz since 1887.
Just one small San Francisco paper turned into the Hearst Corporation today, owner of ESPN, Esquire and Cosmopolitan, and so much more. As an heiress with just a small chunk of that pie, Amanda has used her gift for animal rights. She created Friends and Finn, a nonprofit to prevent the abuse of puppies in puppy mills. Super heartwarming, Miss Mandy!
Vanisha Mittal Bhatia: $51 Billion
Imagine being worth $51 billion at only 35. For Vanisha Mittal Bhatia, this is a reality. Her family happens to be the wealthiest in all of India. Their claim to fame? Father Lakshmi N. Mittal is the CEO and Chairman of ArcelorMittal, a steel company in the country. It has been publicized that she will inherit billions more and 34% in equity of the company, one day.
Talk about being set for life! Vanisha first studied business, then got a master's degree in South Asian studies from London’s prestigious School of Oriental and African Studies. To pass the time, she helps run a Mittal charitable trust in Rajasthan. Vee may be wealthy, but she's never too far above the folks!
Charlene de Carvalho-Heineken: $14.7 Billion
Charlene de Carvalho-Heineken is one of the most powerful businesswomen today. With 25% of Heineken International, she could have a lot of sway over the third largest brewery in the world. But is Char actually a controlling voice on the board?
According to her, no way: “It’s very rare that I – maybe two or three times in the last 15 years – that we actually had the power, or wanted the power to say no...we realize that we have 75% outside shareholders. I do feel that I’m not there with my 25% waving a flag and saying that I can do exactly what I want; that’s not the way we work." For her rare appearance, crack open a cold one!
Sheryl Sandberg: $1.8 Billion
Sheryl Sandberg is a self-made billionairess and currently the COO at Facebook. She also wrote a bestseller many have heard about, by now: Lean In. While pursuing her own advice from the book to balance career and family, she suddenly lost her husband. Exploring some tough stuff in her own life, the businesswoman now has a lot to say on love.
Sheryl shared one big tip: “My advice to women is date all of them: the bad boys, the cool boys, the commitment-phobic boys, the crazy boys. But do not marry them...When it comes time to settle down, find someone who wants an equal partner. Someone who thinks women should be smart, opinionated and ambitious." An interesting formula, perhaps!
Tory Burch: $1 Billion
Tory Burch is a household name, for those households with a healthy love of bags and shoes. A young entrepreneur who climbed her way to the top with no help from a rich father, Tory is now worth a billion bucks. As a fashion designer, philanthropist, businesswoman, and is CEO, chairman, and designer of Tory Burch LLC — what can't she do?
Forbes fittingly listed her as one of the most powerful women in 2015. But is that always seen as a good thing? The designer reflected: "There’s always a stigma attached to the word ambition and women. I’ve embraced it...Ambition is not a four-letter word and women have to embrace that." A very on brand message, to be sure!
Caroline Hagen Kjos: $2.6 Billion
Some heiresses are content sitting back and enjoying their fortune. But Caroline Hagen Kjos is not one of those rich ladies! Her family business was originally a budget grocery chain, and this ambitious daughter jumped right in. Now in her early 30's, it's clearly paid off well: As Chairman of Canica A. S holding company since 2014, her net worth is at $2.6 billion — and climbing!
Where does Caroline hang out, when she's not busting the boardroom? A citizen of Norway, she is married and lives in Wollerau, Switzerland with two children. More than 97% of the firm is in her hands, and there's a lot of responsibility in her life. Obviously, she wouldn't have it any other way!
Gina Rinehart: $16.3 Billion
Way out in Australia, Gina Rinehart is the chairman of Hancock Prospecting. Her father, Lang Hancock, founded the incredibly successful company. What is their specialty? Well, with large land leases on the continent down under, they hold the rights to more than a bit of mineral extraction and exploration. And that means wild cash, every time!
But she's not the only woman with outrageous potential in business. Take it from Gina: "There is no monopoly on becoming a millionaire. If you're jealous of those with more money, don't just sit there and complain. Do something to make more money yourself — spend less time drinking, or smoking and socializing and more time working." Translation from Australian: Less Foster's, more function!
Chu Lam Yiu: $3.2 Billion
Chu Lam Yiu built her fortune at Huabao International without help from anyone. She just had a passion for flavors, and she founded a company to share them with young and old. Based in Hong Kong, buyers used her formulas for beverages, fragrances, cosmetics and more. But who is the real Chu, behind all the sweets?
Now in her 40’s now, this mysterious entrepreneur continue to frustrate the press. Why? Well, it seems she has never, ever agreed to an official sit down interview! Wild stuff, in media world. But Chu knows what she's doing, and very few details are known about her by choice. One thing is clear: She is definitely hanging out in the iconic, 1,227 foot high Central Plaza triangular tower — her Hong Kong HQ!
Meg Whitman: $5 Billion
Is there anything Meg Whitman can’t do in the business world? Rhetorical. After graduating from Princeton, Meg kicked off her career at P&G, Disney, and Hasbro. Then, she became President and CEO of eBay. Her responsibility was immense, and she saw the company grow from 30 to more than 15,000 employees!
Meg took eBay international, and then she moved on to HP and a campaign for Governor of California. How did she handle it all, always in the boy's club? According to Meg: “I didn’t spend a lot of time thinking about – as a woman how I would manage differently – I was just happy to be managing." With $5 billion these days, it seems to have worked out just fine!
Marissa Mayer: $620 Million
Yahoo really was the next big thing, back in the day. That was before Google dominated it all, with no hope! But Marissa Mayer wants to turn that all around, somehow. The Stanford graduate and business savvy woman is the President and CEO of Yahoo, and she has made a huge impact on the company. Major milestones like the acquisition of Tumblr have helped the bottom line. But did she always dream of tech?
According to Marissa: "I really wanted to be a doctor, until my freshman year of college when I realized that while I was good at chemistry and biology, I really wasn't feeling challenged by it." Perhaps not, but Yahoo stakeholders say: Challenge accepted!
Prisca & Jenna Courtin Clarins: $2.2 Billion
Beautiful and powerful, these are not the average twins hanging out as adults. Prisca and Jenna are the daughters of Olivier Courtin-Clarins and sculptor and model Anneli Courtin-Clarins. If that name seems familiar, there is a good reason: Their family started Clarins, that quintessentially French luxury beauty brand.
But surprise, surprise — the twins are independently successful. Jenna is a photography student, while Prisca is a co-owner of The Nail Factory, a hip salon chain. Both are based in Paris, of course! In their free time, they are Clarins shareholders and brand ambassadors. And they always seem to make quite the splash at fashion week, worldwide! Super très chic, these two.
Amy Wyss: $2 Billion
Amy Wyss is a dual citizen of Switzerland and the United States. With a net worth of $2 billion, a Swiss bank could definitely come in handy! But what is the source of all that cash, really? As it turns out, she's the only daughter of Swiss billionaire businessman Hansjorg Wyss.
Father and daughter are both nature lovers, and Amy used to be on the board of directors for her father's Wyss Foundation. The organization focuses on "projects in areas from conservation and education to economic opportunity and social justice...new solutions that expand the reach of human possibility and compassion." These days, she has her own fund: The LOR Foundation. But this time, it's conservation of the Western United States!
Maggie Magerko: $1.4 Billion
Maggie Magerko may have inherited the family lumber business from her dad, Joe Hardy. But 84 Lumber went to totally new levels under her leadership, and no one can deny she is a superb manager in her own right. After building relationships with mega chains Home Depot and Lowes, the profits just grew and grew. What does she say is her real business secret?
She confessed: "I have grown up with the people at 84 so I really know my managers and their lives...it’s not an employee-employer relationship. There is a trust they have with me and they know me. The managers at 84 believe these are their stores – they are truly entrepreneurs." Thanks to Maggie, it's a tight knit bunch!

Grupo Modelo is the real operation behind Corona beer, founded way back in 1925!
Eventually, 50% was sold to beverage giant Anheuser-Busch in 2013. They offered $20.1 billion in cold hard cash. Dollars, not pesos! This was impossible to refuse, and the deal was done.

Milane Duncan Frantz: $4.7 Billion

She's also the director of the Duncan Family Foundation. Schedule, marked full!
Shari Arison: $3.7 Billion (last slide)

Why? According to Shari: "Matters of the heart are important to me. All this materialism and all the money and wealth are things that you don't take to the grave. One day you have it.

However, she and her company came under fire for their methods of testing and swiftly the valuation of her company dropped from $9 billion to $800 million.
