Executive Agenda

Centibillionaire Club: Who Will Be The First Woman To Reach $100 Billion

Francoise Bettencourt Meyers

L’Oreal heiress Françoise Bettencourt Meyers, the richest woman in the world, is expected to be the first woman to reach the $100 billion mark. Newly divorced MacKenzie Bezos is likely to make the $100 billion mark at 65 years old in just 16 years.

Four of the world’s richest women are not likely to reach $100 billion milestones until they are over 100 years old – with Laurene Powell Jobs, billionaire philanthropist, and wife of late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, predicted to reach this milestone at 110 years of age.
