About Elisabeth DeLuca & family
Elisabeth DeLuca is the widow of Subway cofounder Fred DeLuca, who started the sandwich shop with his family friend Peter Buck in 1965.
She inherited his half of the restaurant chain, which is one of the largest in the world, when he died from leukemia in 2015.
Since inheriting the fortune, DeLuca has mostly kept a low profile though she has given over $710 million to the Frederick A DeLuca Foundation.
In August 2023, Subway announced that it had agreed to sell itself to private equity firm Roark Capital, the owner of Dunkin' Donuts and Arby's, in a deal reportedly worth over $9 billion.
