About Bergit Douglas
Bergit Douglas owns 12.5% of Dr. August Oetker, a $9 billion (sales) conglomerate with interests in food, beverages, chemicals and hotels.
The business began in 1891 when her great-grandfather, pharmacist August Oetker, started selling non-perishable baking powder.
After World War II, her father, former Nazi SS officer Rudolf August Oetker, developed additional food products and successfully diversified.
Douglas, who has an interior design business based in Frankfurt, redesigned some of the family's hotels.
She is married to Christoph Douglas, an art consultant and former head of Sotheby's in Germany.
