9. Bettencourt

Estimated wealth: $42.5 billion

You may not know the Bettencourt name that well, but you’ve certainly heard about L’Oréal, haven’t you? The world’s largest cosmetics and beauty company was founded over 100 years ago by Eugene Schueller who, upon his death, left the company in the hands of his daughter, Liliane, now bearing the last name of Bettencourt after her marriage with a French politician. Liliane died in September 2017, leaving her fortune to daughter Françoise.

While the L’Oreal empire may be a lot larger, Françoise Bettencourt-Meyer’s net worth is estimated at over $42 billion.
