About Deniz Sahenk
Deniz Sahenk is the widow of Dogus Holding founder Ayhan Sahenk, who died of a heart attack in 2001. She has no active role in the conglomerate.
Dogus operates in sectors ranging from tourism, real estate and media to financial services, construction, autos and restaurants.

Both Ferit and Filiz are also billionaires.
