Early Life and Family
Rahel Blocher was born on October 18, 1976, in Männedorf, Switzerland. She is the youngest of four children of Christoph Blocher and Silvia Kaiser. Her father, Christoph Blocher, was a key figure in the family business and later entered Swiss politics. Rahel's siblings include Magdalena, Miriam, and Markus, all of whom are billionaires.
Rise to Success
Rahel Blocher's wealth is primarily derived from her stake in EMS-Chemie, a Swiss polymer and chemical giant. In 2004, her father sold his shares of EMS-Chemie to his children to pursue a political career. Unlike her sister Magdalena, who serves as the CEO of EMS-Chemie, Rahel is not actively involved in the company's operations. Instead, she manages Robinvest, her father's investment company.
Key Business Strategies
Rahel Blocher's primary business focus is managing her wealth through strategic investments. She heads Robinvest, where she oversees a diversified portfolio, enabling her to explore opportunities beyond the industrial sector. This role has allowed her to expand her influence and manage the family's financial interests effectively.
Philanthropy
Rahel Blocher is involved in philanthropic endeavors and contributes to the cultural initiatives championed by her father. She serves on the board of the Schweizer Musikinsel Rheinau Foundation, which supports Swiss music and preserves the country's artistic heritage.
