Susanne Klatten – $29.7 Billion
Susanne, like many women on this list, stepped in luck as she is an heiress who inherited her family’s business when her parents passed away. This pushed her to become the richest woman in Germany. The company, BMW, is currently owned by her and her brother. To add more juice to the story, BMW was not the only powerful business inherited as she was also given the family’s pharmaceutical company, Atlanta AG, which she initially sold for $6 billion.
