- Ulrike von Baumbach derives her wealth from Boehringer Ingelheim, the world's largest private pharmaceutical company.
- Founded in 1885 by Albert Boehringer, the company supplied ingredients to pharmacies, textile merchants and the food industry, and grew to a workforce of 1,500 by the time of his death.
- In 1917 the company opened a research department with chemist Heinrich Wieland, Boehringer's cousin, who went on to win the Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
- Today, Boehringer Ingelheim's most well-known drugs treat COPD, anti-coagulation and type 2 diabetes; it now employs 53,000 people and has a presence in 130 markets.
- Von Baumbach along with 14 members of the family own equal parts of the company.
