She looks like she might be a beautiful waitress at your local Hooters restaurant, but no, she's more ambitious. Lynsi Torres is the youngest female billionaire in the country because she's the owner of In-N-Out Burger, a fast food with locations all around the country.
Torres can thank Bloomberg Businessweek for finding her as they unearthed the secrets of the richest female in the United States. Torres is only 30 years old, but In-N-Out Burger has been around for almost 70 years. Her grandparents opened up the joint in 1948 and it has been growing since then. So much so that Bloomberg Businessweek estimates In-N-Out Burger to be worth $1.1 billion.
Unlike many people with money, Torres keeps to herself. She prefers to lay low and hasn't made too many public appearances. She is married to a drag racer, Val Torres Jr. and was spotted at one of the races, but that's the most you'll get from her.
Bloomber Businessweek really did their research to dig up the dirt on Torres' business. Well, it's not really dirt, but how can somebody so rich in an age of technology and social media hide from the scope of America?
"In-N-Out Burger is a private company and this valuation of the company is nothing more than speculation based on estimates from people with no knowledge of In-N-Out's financials, which are and always have been private," Carl Van Fleet, the company's vice president of planning and development told Bloomberg in an e-mailed statement.
Overall, apparently the world is oblivious to the richest women in their countries. Other female billionaires like to keep under the radar as well. Among them are Dirce Camargo, the richest woman in Brazil, and Elaine Marshall, the fourth-richest woman in America.
