4Susanne Klatten – Net worth – $16.8 billion
With an estimated net worth of $16.8 billion, Susanne Klatten is richer than her brother, Stefan Quandt, and even than her mother, Johanna Quandt.
She inherited 12.6% stake in the company and that stake has risen in value. Her net worth is up $3.1 billion from last year.
Susanne also holds stakes in wind power company Nordex AG, soil additive company Geohumus and carbon and graphite producer SGL.
Two years ago, the trained economist bought stakes in Dutch biotech company Paques and oil recycling company Avista Oil.
And with fortune, come a lot of greedy people. Helg Sgarbi, an ex-lover, tried to blackmail her for millions.
Fortunately, he was sent to prison for 6 years for attempted extortion and fraud.
