About Gabriella Meister

Gabriella Meister and her daughter Franziska Wuerbser, who is also a billionaire, are among four family heirs who inherited 63% of kitchen appliance manufacturer Rational AG.

Gabriella's late husband, Siegfried Meister, founded the company in 1973 and died in 2017, at age 78.

Rational, which went public in 2000, has grown consistently without acquisitions, and prides itself on innovative, energy-efficient technology.
