The heiress is set to benefit from her late grandmother’s sizeable inheritance.

Notwithstanding, this hasn’t stopped her from fighting to redistribute wealth, land, and power.

Engelhorn gained media attention after saying in an interview that she is willing to donate 90 percent of her wealth.

Not to mention, she became a founding member of the German-speaking initiative Tax Me Now. This seeks to impose higher taxes on the rich.

The heiress has since made it clear that she prefers structural change rather than philanthropy.
