Elaine T Marshall ($15.2 billion)

Source: http://lugenfamilyoffice.com/

An America billionaire as a result of inheritance. She inherited a 16% stake in Koch Industries, when her husband, E. Pierce Marshall passed away in 2006. She is a member of the board of directors of Koch Industries. Her husband’s father, J. Howard Marshall II got the Koch stake by investing in a refinery business that was acquired by Koch Industries. Elaine and her family are spending millions of dollars on lawyers thanks to J. Howard II’s financial and romantic misadventures. A federal judge ordered them to pay $49 million to Dannielynn Smith, heir to the estate of J Howard II’s widow, Playboy Playmate Anna Nicole Smith. A federal court in New Orleans is also considering the IRS’s claims on more than $75 million in back taxes. Seems like a small sum compared to her worth.
