Giuliana Benetton
Age: 74
Country: Italy
Worth: $2.1
Background: Giuliana Benetton began her career knitting sweaters in Treviso, a small city in northern Italy. Her brother would go around on his bicycle and sell her sweaters to the neighbors. The collection, sold under the name
United Colors of Benetton, caught on, and in 1965 she founded the Benetton Group with her three brothers. This was the move that would launch the family into fame and fortune.
Although now wealthy, married, and the mother of four, Benetton keeps her seat on the Board of Directors and maintains creative control over the company's knitwear.
