Swiss-Italian billionaire and entrepreneur, Ernesto Bertarelli has a net worth of $10.6 billion as of March 2012, according to FORBES. Ernesto Bertarelli has made his fortune from pharmaceuticals and biotechnology companies. His wife Kirsty Bertarelli, a former Miss UK, is officially the richest woman in UK.
