Positions of power in the world are increasingly occupied by successful women in the business world. The historical struggles that demand opportunities for women are gradually gaining ground in a traditionally macho society. A reflection of this can be seen in the lists of millionaires in the world. In the most recent list published by Forbes, five women star in the ranking of the richest people in 2021.
Born in France, Francoise Bettencourt is the heiress of the cosmetics and beauty company L’Oréal. In 2017, after the death of her mother, she became the visible head of the company and the wealthiest woman in the world. Since then, she has managed to increase her wealth from $42.2 billion to $73.6 billion. In addition to her work in her family’s company, she devotes her career to biblical study, and to the promotion of art and science in her native country.
Like some of the women on this list, Julia Koch’s fortune comes from her late husband’s estate. However, it is remarkable the work she has done, not only increasing her wealth, but also exploring the field she is passionate about. In addition to being one of the richest women in the world, Koch has worked in the fashion world, advising high-profile clients in the United States. Currently, her fortune is estimated by Forbes at 46.4 billion dollars.
