Maria Asuncion Aramburuzabala
Coming from Mexico, Maria inherited a stake in her father’s successful beer company, Grupo Modelo, the brewing company that makes Corona beer. Back in 1925, her grandfather co-founded the company, 50% of which was sold off in 2013 to beverage giant Anheuser-Busch for $20.1 billion. It was also sold in cold hard cash. Maria, at 56, has a net worth of $5.6 billion.

Cervecería Modelo was founded by a group of businessmen, including Don Pablo Díez Fernández, the company’s President, CEO and major stockholder as well as Felix Aramburuzabala. Felix’s son, Pablo Aramburuzabala, was the executive vice president, but he died unexpectedly in 1995 to lung cancer at the age of 63. After that, several groups tried to get control of the family’s share in Modelo.
