World Richest Heiress Bertha Krupp Inherits Vast Krupp Empire
Bertha Krupp von Bohlen, daughter of the Krupp steel founder, sits at the center of a vast industrial system. She oversees Essen works with 150,000 dependents, inspects foundries and hospitals, and maintains family control after Friedrich Alfred Krupp’s death. Her income soars beyond many national sums, and the Krupp empire includes mines, shipyards, and global weapon production. She prefers Essen as home, resisting Berlin society, while her fiancé Dr von Bohlen-Hoelbach pursues leadership of the works.
