Originally Published 2 years ago — by The US Sun
Francoise Bettencourt Meyers, the heiress to the L’Oreal cosmetic empire, has become the world's first female centibillionaire with a fortune exceeding $100 billion. Her wealth places her as the 12th richest person globally. Despite her immense wealth, Francoise is known for her reclusive lifestyle, her interests in piano and literature, and her low-profile approach to her role in the family business. L’Oreal, founded by her grandfather, has grown to become the largest cosmetics company in the world. Francoise inherited her wealth from her mother, Liliane Bettencourt, after a legal battle over Liliane's dementia and the control of her assets.
