Youth, Fame, Beauty, and Fortune: These Ladies Have it All (And A Few Who Lost it All)

Dona Bertarelli

At age 48 Dona has a net worth of $4.5 billion. This Swiss billionaire inherited her fortune when the family biotech business sold for $9 billion in 2007. She didn’t just sit back and watch the money pile up, Dona had her hand in the company as the Director of Public and Personal affairs.

More details…

Since the company (Serano) sold, she started businesses of her own, and became the fastest woman to sail around the world in January 2016! Sounds like a fun idea, break a record for sailing around the world. Isn’t that what Adam Sandler wanted to do in 50 First Dates? That’s beside the point. The point is she is rich and can do whatever she pleases with her free time even after starting her own business. Being Director of Public Affairs is no easy task either. You have to make sure everything is good between the business and the public, so nothing negative or politically incorrect.

Traveling around the world the fastest deserves a reward.
