The richest woman on the planet is L’Oreal heiress Francoise Bettencourt Meyers. When her mother Liliane Bettecourt died in 2017, she inherited around $40 billion from the then richest woman in the world. L’Oreal is the French personal care company that covers Maybelline, NYX Cosmetics, Shu Uemura, Lancome, and many others. It was founded by her grandfather. He was a young scientist who worked out a chemical formula for hair dye. It became popular among Parisian hairdressers. Production grew so he employed more chemists and beauty experts. The brand L’Oreal was born. The rest, as they say, is history.
