Margarita Louis-Dreyfus – $ 5.3 Billion

Margarita Louis-Dreyfus is the cousin of the famous actress Julia Louis-Dreyfus. It’s probably why you recognize her unique last name. She has a net worth of $5.3 billion after inheriting the money left by her late husband, Robert Louis-Dreyfus. Part of his will states that Margarita gets the majority share of his company, Louis Dreyfus Group Commodities.

That’s a billion times bigger than what any insurance can cover. Also, Robert did the right thing because Margarita is an amazing businesswoman. Two years after her husband’s death, she became the chairman of Louis Dreyfus, owning around 70% of the company.
