Françoise Bettencourt Meyers, now at $89.9 billion, lost her title as the richest woman to Alice Walton, the heiress whose fortune surged alongside Walmart's stock.
Despite experiencing a recent downturn in personal wealth, Bettencourt Meyers's connection to L'Oréal remains significant, as she chairs the family holding company that controls the brand.
Walmart's shares have notably increased over 43% in 2024, significantly contributing to Alice Walton's wealth rise to an impressive $95.7 billion in the latest rankings.
The legacies of both women are tied intrinsically to their family-owned companies: L'Oréal in beauty and Walmart in retail, each dominating its sector globally.
