Answer 2

Liliane Bettencourt

Age: 83

Fortune: inherited

Source: L'Oreal

Bettencourt is France's richest female resident. She is daughter of L'Oreal founder Eugene Schueller, a man who is said to have a checkered past with wartime ties to the n**i regime. Liliane retains a controlling stake in the cosmetics giant. Pet cause: the Bettencourt Schueller Foundation, which awards the Liliane Bettencourt Prize for Life Sciences to a European researcher under the age of 45. The winner, along with his or her team, is awarded $300,000 to do research in biology or medicine.

Liliane Bettencourt (born 21 October 1922) is one of the richest people in France and one of the wealthiest people in the world and the wealthiest woman living. Forbes magazine estimated her wealth in 2006 at $16 billion.

Bettencourt was the only child of Mr. Eugène Schueller, the founder of L'Oréal, the world's leading company in cosmetics and beauty. In 1927, her mother died when Liliane was 5 years old. In 1950, she married French politician André Bettencourt. She now lives in Neuilly-sur-Seine, France. Together, they have one daughter, Françoise Bettencourt Meyers, who is a member of L'Oréal's board of directors. Françoise Meyers married Jean-Pierre Meyers, the grandson of a rabbi who died in Auschwitz concentration camp.

In 1957, Bettencourt inherited the L'Oréal fortune from her father. She is the principal shareholder of L'Oréal. The company ownership breakdown: 27.5% by Liliane Bettencourt, 26.4% by Nestlé, the remaining 46.1% are publicly traded.

Bettencourt's family has a reputation for secrecy, partly due to controversy surrounding her father's connection with La Cagoule, a violent French fascist-leaning and anti-communist group.

She created the Bettencourt Schueller Foundation, which awards the "Liliane Bettencourt Prize for Life Sciences" to a European researcher under the age of forty-five.

A report by Forbes has her listed as the second richest person in France behind Bernard Arnault who has an estimated $21.5 billion to her $16 billion.
