The world’s richest woman

On Dec 10, 2013

The world’s richest woman is Liliane Bettencourt, the 90-year-old heiress to a 30% stake in cosmetics group L’Oreal. With a fortune that Forbes pegs at $30 billion –up $6 billion from last year, she ranks 9th wealthiest overall. A surge in the value of L’Oreal shares over the past year helped put her back among the top ten richest for the first time since 1999. Bettencourt, a widow who suffers from dementia, was replaced on the L’Oreal board in February 2012 by her grandson, Jean-Victor Meyers. In 2011, her fortune was put under the guardianship of her daughter, Francoise Bettencourt-Meyers, after three-year legal battle.
