What is Heidi Horten's Net Worth?
Heidi Horten is the widow of retailer Helmut Horten who has a net worth of $3.3 billion. Being married to the founder of the eponymous German department store chain, Heidi Horten inherited an estimated $1 billion fortune from him, when he died in 1987. Heidi met the 32-years her senior husband in a hotel bar in Velden am Wörthersee in 1960. Despite the three-decade age gap, the couple got married six years later and remained together until Helmut's death. Having succeeded her husband's fortune, Helmut became one of the top ten women billionaires.
Actually, she has been listed as the world's 3rd richest billionaire. Now she divides her time between a penthouse in Vienna, a residence in Tessin, Switzerland, and a home in Lyford Cay in the Bahamas. Among other things, she owns one of the world's largest yachts, the 315-foot Carinthia VII. Furthermore, Horten is said to enjoy hunting and collecting art. She doesn't have immediate heirs, because Heidi and Helmut didn't have any children.
