2. Maria Franca Fissolo ($24.7 billion)
Maria Franca Fissolo is the owner of Ferrero Group. It is one of the largest sweets companies in the world. Who has never heard of Nutella, Kinder, and Tic-Tac?
Her late husband, Michele Ferrero, turned the company into a behemoth. He passed away in 2015. It was ironically on Valentine’s Day when his products reach the highest sale throughout the entire year.
Her son, Giovanni, has been in charge even before his passing. He was managing the company with his brother, Pietro, who died in 2011.
The 98-years-old widow is among the rich and famous who live in Monaco. She owns a total of $24.7 billion net worth. This put her as the 30th billionaire in the world and the richest in Italy.
