8. Aerin Lauder
You’ve probably all heard of the Lauder family, certainly Estée Lauder. She co-founded the famous cosmetics company and was regarded to be a business genius and one of the world’s most influential people.
It’s no surprise then, that her granddaughter wanted to emulate her feats in the world of business. With such a successful company already up and running, getting involved with Estée Lauder Companies was a no-brainer for Aerin Lauder. She completed her education, but she started to get involved in the family business while she was in college, before taking up a permanent position within the company after her degree. She’s also branched out and done things by herself within the company, creating her own furniture and accessories collections. All of this, and the fact that she owns 16 million shares in the company, has meant she’s worth $1 billion. Add to that the money her investment banker husband is making, and the couple’s raking in the cash.
