Charlene de Carvalho-Heineken is one of the richest women in the world, thanks to her 23% stake in beer giant Heineken. She inherited the Heineken stake in 2002 from her late father, longtime CEO Freddy Heineken. Charlene, husband Michel de Carvalho, son Alexander de Carvalho and daughter Louisa Brassey all sit on Heineken boards. Charlene's mother, Martha Lucille Heineken-Cummins, died on Christmas Eve of 2020.
