TERESA HEINZ KERRY

From her middle name alone, we’re guessing you can already tell which multi-billion dollar company this wealthy lady helps run and manage. If not, then allow us to elaborate. As the name implies, Teresa Heinz Kerry is a member of the Heinz family of Pennsylvania. The Heinz family, under the leadership of the late Henry Heinz, is the family responsible for producing the uber-famous Heinz Ketchup. What started as a simple ketchup business has now turned into a $24 billion food processing empire.

Teresa’s role in the family business has more to do with charity works as she is now the chairperson of Heinz Endowments, the largest philanthropic foundation in the entire United States. Teresa also earned several credits for her work, which includes her involvement in environmental and human welfare advocacies. She assists the City of Pittsburgh, where the Heinz family has many financial and family connections.
