Maybe she’s born with it, maybe it’s L'Oréal? In Francoise Bettencourt Meyers case, it’s both. The L'Oréal heiress, who is also the chairwoman of her family’s holding company, is the world’s richest woman, with a fortune of $49.3 billion.
Bettencourt Meyers, who is the 15th-richest person in the world, leads the women on the 2019 Forbes World’s Billionaires list, which will be published in full on March 5.
The granddaughter of L'Oréal’s founder Eugène Schueller (an inventor of hair dyes), and a member of the company’s board since 1997, Bettencourt Meyers debuted on the billionaires list last year following the death of her mother, Liliane Bettencourt, in September 2017. Liliane had been on the list every year since Forbes published its first World’s Billionaires List in 1987.
Bettencourt Meyers’ fortune increased by $7.1 billion, or 17%, since last year thanks to stellar results at the makeup giant, of which she and her immediate family own a 33% stake. An estimated 90% of her wealth is tied to shares of the company, which recorded its best sales growth in more than a decade last year with total revenue coming in at $30.6 billion. Revenue in Asia Pacific jumped 20%, driven by China; the region has now overtaken North America in terms of sales.
Bettencourt Meyers, who lives in Paris, is the president of her family’s Bettencourt Schueller Foundation. The philanthropic foundation encourages French progress in science and the arts, giving money and support to projects in life sciences, social progress and traditional crafts. The foundation has donated to projects including the research of neurons, support for families of autistic children and French choirs. She is also a writer and has authored a book on the Greek gods and another with commentary on the Bible.

With all that money she likely doesn't care what anyone thinks........
Jezebel’s Violent Death
2 Kings 9:30 Now when Jehu had come to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it; and she put paint on her eyes and adorned her head, and looked through a window. 31 Then, as Jehu entered at the gate, she said, “Is it peace, Zimri, murderer of your master?”
32 And he looked up at the window, and said, “Who is on my side? Who?” So two or three eunuchs looked out at him. 33 Then he said, “Throw her down.” So they threw her down, and some of her blood spattered on the wall and on the horses; and he trampled her underfoot. 34 And when he had gone in, he ate and drank. Then he said, “Go now, see to this accursed woman, and bury her, for she was a king’s daughter.” 35 So they went to bury her, but they found no more of her than the skull and the feet and the palms of her hands.
Naw, she’s going for the “Edna Look” (The Incredibles).
She is proof positive that life is a crap shoot and pure luck. But damn can she not buy some better glasses?
THIS is the one I was referring to!!
Great minds and all that. :)
Or it was just the most obviously gruesome one on display :(
By this time next year she will be easily surpassed by the former Mrs. Bezos.
Only until Bezos’ divorce is final...................
Do they mean the future Mrs K?
She’s not even close..............
She’s not even the richest woman in England:

Those glasses look exactly like the ones the fashionista wears in the Stanton Optical commercials!....................
That’s a man, baby ...
No capes!
That could be entertaining...
But $50 billion in net worth can still turn a few heads. :-)
Who knows what the hell they really get up to?
Harry Caray in drag.
