Maja Oeri – Billionaire

A descendant of Fritz Hoffmann-La Roche, founder of Switzerland-based pharma behemoth Roche, Maja Oeri joined the Forbes billionaires ranks in 2013 after pulling her 5% stake in the company out of the family pool in 2011. At the time, Oeri reportedly said there was no bad blood between her and other family members; however, the move diminished the family’s majority control in the maker of blockbuster drugs like Tamiflu and Valium. An art enthusiast, Oeri runs the Emanuel Hoffmann Foundation and is a trustee of the Modern Museum of Art. In 1999, Oeri and her husband established the Laurenz Foundation in memory of their first born son, Laurenz Jakob, who died an untimely death. The foundation seeks to promote and support the fine arts.

Maja Oeri Net Worth: Maja Oeri is a Swiss businesswoman and patron who has a net worth of $2.4 billion. A descendant of Fritz Hoffman-La Roche, the founder of a drug giant Roche, joined the billionaire ranks in 2013, following a 2011 decision to withdraw her 5% stake out of the family pool, which is collectively estimated at $16 billion. Making clear that there is no family quarrel behind her decision, her act did cut down the family’s long majority control of Roche, a producer of Tamiflu and Valium. Backed with more than a billion worth fortune, Maja Oeri is the trustee of the Modern Museum of Art and she runs the Emanuel Hoffman Foundation that is focused on contemporary art.
