Maria Helena Moraes Scripilliti's late father, Jose Ermirio de Moraes, founded family-owned Grupo Votorantim, one of Brazil's largest conglomerates.

Votorantim operates in more than 20 countries in the aluminum, pulp and paper, energy, agribusiness, and cement industries.

The group dates back to 1918, when Moraes Scripilliti's father bought a textile factory in Sao Paulo.

The family still controls 100% of the business. Maria Helena's brother, Ermirio Pereira, is also a billionaire.

Moraes Scripilliti's late husband, Clovis Scripilliti, helped expand Votorantim throughout northeast Brazil during the 1960s and 1970s.
