Thanks to BMW's recovery from a slump earlier in the pandemic, US$10.9 billion was added to Klatten's fortune. The company also reported nearly US$119 billion in revenues in 2020 while its stock price increased more than 93 per cent since Mid-March 2020. The BMW heiress inherited a 12.50 per cent stake following her father's death which now totals to 19.2 per cent after her mother's passing in 2015. Besides her wealth from the German carmaker, she also inherited her late father's 50.1 per cent stake in pharmaceutical and chemicals manufacturer, Atlanta.
