Francoise Bettencourt Meyers – $46 Billion

Bloomberg cites Francoise Bettencourt Meyers as the world’s richest woman. Her grandfather, Eugene Schueller, established cosmetics empire L’Oreal in 1907. He gave his entire estate to his daughter, Liliane. Eventually, Liliane died in 2017 and her daughter, Francoise, became incredibly rich.

Francoise has decided to stay out of family matters and is instead using her $46 billion fortune to follow her passion as a writer. With a $43 Billion fortune, she doesn’t need to worry about the success of her first novel.
