Anna Maria Braun Net Worth

Anna Maria Braun has an estimated net worth of $1.7 billion, according to Forbes Real-Time Billionaires, Anna Maria Braun profile (figures as of October 20, 2026). That is up from $1.1 billion in 2019.

Anna Maria Braun is a German businesswoman and lawyer who runs B. Braun Melsungen, the family-owned medical device company. Born in Melsungen on 3 July 1979, she is one of five children of Ludwig Georg Braun and part of the sixth generation of her family in the business. B. Braun traces its roots to 1839, when it began as a small pharmacy selling herbal remedies.

Before joining the family company, Braun built a legal career. She studied at United World College of the Atlantic, took an intensive Chinese course in Beijing and earned a Master of Laws at Georgetown University. She worked as a lawyer at CMS in Düsseldorf from 2007 to 2009, then joined B. Braun in 2009. She became chief executive in 2019.

How Anna Maria Braun's wealth is built

Braun's fortune comes from her 10% stake in B. Braun Melsungen. The company makes a wide range of medical products, from infusion and injection solutions to surgical instruments, and employs more than 64,000 people around the world. Its growth has been huge. When her father took charge in 1977, yearly sales were just $24 million. Today they are around $8 billion.

She rose through the company before taking the top job. In 2013 she led B. Braun Medical Industries in Malaysia, and by 2016 she sat on the management board in charge of Asia-Pacific operations, where she is also president. Outside the company she has board roles at the Oetker Group since 2019 and on the supervisory board of the Freudenberg Group since 2022.

How Forbes has valued her

Forbes estimated Braun at $1.1 billion in 2019 and $1 billion in 2020. Her figure rose to $1.4 billion in 2021 and then $1.3 billion in 2022, before slipping back to $1 billion in 2023. Because B. Braun is privately held, her estimate reflects how Forbes values the family company and her share of it, not daily stock trading.

Her estimate has climbed since. Forbes put her at $1.4 billion in both 2024 and 2025, then $1.8 billion on its 2026 World's Billionaires List. As of October 20, 2026, its real-time billionaires tracker showed $1.7 billion. She is not the only billionaire in the family. Her brother Otto Philipp Braun, who once oversaw the Iberian and Latin American regions, is also on the Forbes list.
