Victoria B. Mars | Daughter of Forrest Mars Jr – Mars, Incorporated

Net Worth: $7.2 Billion

Victoria Mars might be one of the heiresses of the famous candy brand Mars Incorporated, but she is a competent and established woman in her own right. As a fourth-generation member of the Mars family, she must have known she should get ready to take over the business one day. Victoria earned her bachelor’s degree at Yale University and got an MBA in Finance at the Wharton School of Business. As soon as she finished her studies, she joined the family business and climbed her way up the ladder.

In 2016, Victoria inherited an 8% stake of Mars, Incorporated. The valuation of her stake amounted to $5.9 billion in 2018, thus making her a billionaire. Victoria is fond of giving back through her charity works. She has made contributions to the Charles Darwin Foundation, Mystic Seaport, and Galapagos Conservancy. She was married twice and now has four children to inherit her wealth.
