Susan Carol Holland is an Italian-British businesswoman and the chair of Amplifon, the Milan-based company that is the world's largest retailer of hearing aids. She was born on May 27, 1956. Her father, British-born Algernon Charles Holland, founded the company, and she has spent most of her working life connected to it.
Holland earned a bachelor's degree in psychology and sociology from Keele University in England. She then took a diploma in speech therapy, known as logopaedia, from the University of Milan. From 1982 she worked as a speech therapist in Milan, a career that gave her first-hand experience with the kind of communication problems Amplifon's products help solve.
Her father's own story shaped the company. He served in the British Special Operations Executive during World War II and was made a Member of the Order of the British Empire. After the war he settled in Italy and built a business that helped people who had lost their hearing.
How Susan Carol Holland made her money
Amplifon was founded in 1950 to provide hearing care for people injured in World War II. It grew from a single Milan business into a global chain. The company developed digital hearing aids in the 1990s and entered North America by buying Miracle-Ear in 1999. Algernon Holland died in 2001, the same year Amplifon went public on the Italian Stock Exchange.
Susan joined the board as a director in 1988 and became non-executive vice-chair in 1993. She took over as chair in 2011. She owns 44.9% of Amplifon through her family's holding company, and that stake is the source of her fortune. As a listed company, Amplifon's share price drives the value of her holding.
How Forbes has valued Susan Carol Holland
Forbes valued Holland at $3.8 billion in 2022. Her figure fell to $3 billion in 2023, recovered to $3.5 billion in 2024, and then dropped to $2 billion in 2025 as Amplifon shares lost ground.
The slide continued into 2026. Forbes put her at $1.4 billion on its 2026 World's Billionaires List, and as of October 20, 2026, the real-time billionaires tracker showed $1.3 billion. The falling numbers mirror the drop in Amplifon's stock price, since nearly all of her wealth is tied to the company her father built.
