When her father passed away in 2002, Charlene inherited a 25% controlling stake in Heineken International. She is currently the executive member of the board of directors. This Dutch-English woman is the richest woman in the UK. She is married to Michel de Carvalho, and they live in London. Until her father’s passing, Charlene had no money to her name except for a single share of Heineken stock, then worth $32, which her father gave her. Upon his passing, she inherited around 100 million controlling shares as the sole heir. This gave her power over any other investor in the board. All from one single share of stock to 100 million.
