This caused a furore and the search for more information about the privileged owner of the fortune accelerated in the last few hours. Who is she?
The success of the youngest billionaire in the world, according to “Forbes”, is the result of her minority stake in the industrial machinery multinational “Weg”, co-founded by her late grandfather, Werner Ricardo Voigt.
