Francoise Bettencourt Meyers is the granddaughter of the founder of L'Oreal and the richest woman in the world. Bettencourt Meyers and her family own around 33% of L'Oreal stock. She has served on L'Oreal's board since 1997 and is chairwoman of the family holding company.

Her success secret is simple: Francoise was born into wealth. The famous personal care company was founded by Bettencourt's grandfather. Being a young scientist, he worked out a chemical formula for hair dye. It became popular among Parisian hairdressers and production grew.

Her marriage caused controversy because of her grandfather Eugène Schueller's trial for collaboration with the Nazi government; he was L'Oreal's founder.Bettencourt Meyers and her family still own a 33% stake in the company.

In 2008, she sued François-Marie Banier for taking money from her mother and she started proceedings to have her mother declared mentally incompetent. The revelations in the secret recordings that she used in evidence led to the Woerth-Bettencourt scandal.

In December 2010, Bettencourt Meyers announced that she had settled out of court with both her mother and Banier.

Her mother died in September 2017 when her net worth was about $39.5 billion, which makes Bettencourt Meyers among the top 20 richest people in the world.

After a fire severely damaged Notre-Dame de Paris, Bettencourt Meyers and L'Oréal donated $226 million to repair the cathedral.
