Envy alert: Beer investors among top 10 richest

These days about 7,000 people with a personal wealth of over CHF 30 million (USD 30 million) each call Switzerland home, media reported on 7 March 2017. That’s an increase of more than five percent over 2015.

As says the real estate company Knight Frank in its recent Wealth Report, the super-rich like to live in two cities: Geneva (2,500) and Zürich (2,300).

According to Bilanz, a business magazine, Jorge Lemann “who made AB-InBev great” ranked second with an estimated wealth of CHF 28 billion. Charlene de Carvalho-Heineken, who controls the Dutch brewer Heineken, ranked eighth thanks to her wealth having risen to CHF twelve billion.

Incidentally, the richest people in Switzerland are the sons of IKEA’s Swedish founder Ingvar Kamprad (CHF 46 billion).
