Only three women made it on Yahoo! Finance’s list of “15 richest hotel owners in the world” (published June 2023), and all three are from the same family – the Pritzkers.

The Pritzker family owns Hyatt Hotels Corporation, and in total, six members are on the said list. Karen Pritzker, 66, is the “richest”, with an estimated net worth of US$6.2bil (RM29.26bil).
