Susan Klatten may have been a billionaire for a little longer than most of our list, but she's still not at retirement age, and so she qualifies! Almost every woman we've seen so far has received their money from one specific source or industry; Klatten's cash comes from two.
Klatten's parents owned the chemical giant Altana AG. When they passed away, she and her brother inherited fifty percent each of the business. She must have enjoyed doing business with her brother because the two also own nearly half of the luxury car company BMW. Under her leadership, Altana has become a private company, and she's bought out her brother to take complete control of the firm and add to her $20bn net worth. All that money means she has a lot of spare cash to invest with, and so she's taken on shares in green power companies and graphite production. She's a busy woman!
Over the years, weve seen so many food trends come and go, such as ramen burgers, matcha, and spiked ice-cream. Nowadays, were seeing another trend making waves in the food industry. How many times today have you seen an Instagram photo of a scoop of black ice cream, or a cup of black yogurt, or hamburgers with black buns? Indeed, the charcoal trend has taken the world by storm.
So, what gives your latte that deep black shade? Activated charcoal, or coconut ash, is produced by heating coconut shells to insanely high temperatures until theyre burnt to a crisp. The ashes are then increased in size by steaming at high temperatures. Through this process, the ashes become a strong detoxifier, mostly because they become extra absorbent. This product may be purchased in pill form, and promises to alleviate hangovers, minimize the effects of food poisoning, and fight the visible signs of aging.
Activated charcoal is said to boost ones energy as a result of decreasing toxins in the body. However, no evidence proves that detoxifying can lead to increased energy. Also, while it can help cure a hangover, it doesnt necessarily remove alcohol from your blood. It is also said to aid in debloating your stomach because it cleanses your colon but again, this all anecdotal and isnt supported by scientific evidence as of yet. All we can say for sure is that it is a proven detoxifier.
