Charlene de Carvalho-Heineken, 62, owns a controlling interest in the world’s second largest brewer, Heineken.

She inherited her 25% stake from her late father Freddy Heineken, grandson of the Dutch brewery’s founder, in 2002.

The de Carvalho family stake in Heineken is now valued at £12bn.

2018’s sales figures for Heineken were the brewer’s best in a decade which it attributed to the rise of alcohol-free beers. Heineken owns brands including Lagunitas, Newcastle Brown Ale and Strongbow, and has a minority stake in London craft brewer Beavertown.
