- 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 has more than a 50% share of the global market for multifunctional food preparation appliances used in large-scale and commercial kitchens.
- The company's products include ovens, steamers and grills.
- Rational, which went public in 2000, has grown consistently without acquisitions, and prides itself on innovative, energy-efficient technology.
- Siegfried Meister had the idea to cook using steam after disliking how food was prepared at restaurant chain Wienerwald, where he worked previously.
- Rational employs over 250 professional chefs, and its products are used in the White House and Buckingham Palace.
