But after siblings Miriam and Markus have sold their shares to Magdalena and Rahel, the two became the largest shareholders in the company. Magdalena, who is also a CEO, gets almost all of her fortune from her 30% stake in Ems-Chemie that is now worth $2.7 billion. Prior to getting her post at the EMS-Chemie board of directors in 2001, Martullo-Blocher held high (management) positions at Johnson & Johnson and Swiss beverage maker Rivella. While Magdalena manages the $2.1 billion (sales) company, her father Cristoph is still an eminent leader of the conservative Swiss People’s Party, country’s largest political party.
