Kirsten Rausing – Billionaire

Kirsten Elisbet Rausing, DL (born 6 June 1952) is the eldest child of Swedish industrialist Gad Rausing (1922–2000) and his wife Birgit (née Mayne).

Born in Lund, Sweden, Rausing is the granddaughter of Ruben Rausing (1895–1983) who was the founder of the liquid food packaging company Tetra Pak. Her father bought out the 50% share in the company from his brother Hans Rausing in 1995, leaving her side of the family as sole remaining owner of Tetra Pak. She is the granddaughter of Swedish landscape painter Henry Mayne (1891–1975).

She lives in the UK and breeds horses at her stud farm Lanwades Stud in Newmarket. Rausing is a member of the Jockey Club and a former director of the National Stud. With Richard Frisby, Michael Goodbody and Guy Heald, she is a director of the British Bloodstock Agency. She is one of Britain’s richest women.

With her brothers Jörn Rausing and Finn Rausing, she sits on the board of holding company Tetra Laval. In the Sunday Times Rich List 2011 ranking of the wealthiest people in the UK she was placed 16th (jointly with her brother Jörn) with an estimated fortune of £3,900 million. In the Sunday Times Rich List 2012, she was ranked as the 4th richest woman in the UK.

Kirsten Rausing net worth: Kirsten Rausing is a Swedish businesswoman who has a net worth of $5.1 billion. Kirsten Rausing was born to an affluent Swedish family. Kirsten is the eldest child of Swedish industrialist Gad Rausing, whose father Ruben Rausing founded the popular liquid food packaging company Tetra Pak (precursor to today’s Tetra Laval). Once her father took over the 50% stake in the Tetra Pak from his brother Hans Rausing in 1995, Gad’s immediate family became sole remaining owners of the company. However, Kirsten entered the world of billionaires after her widowed mother, Birgit Rausing, left her fortune to her three children, as confirmed by the family company, Tetra Laval. Now, Kirsten and her two brothers, Finn and Jorn, sit on the board of the company which invented aseptic-packaging technology that makes it possible to store beverages like milk and orange juice without refrigeration. Although some judged the innovation as bad for being difficult to recycle, Tetra Pak is now the central subsidiary of Tetra Laval. Kirsten and her whole family keep a low profile, especially after attempted abduction of her brother Jorn near his home in Sweden was foiled in 1989. Among other things, Kirsten is an avid horse breeder.
