About Me

Gabriella Meister and her daughter Franziska Wuerbser, who is also a billionaire, are among four family heirs who inherited 63% of kitchen appliance manufacturer Rational AG. Gabriella's late husband, Siegfried Meister, founded the company in 1973 and died in 2017, at age 78. Rational has more than a 50% share of the global market for multifunctional food preparation appliances used in large-scale and commercial kitchens. The company's products include ovens, steamers and grills. Rational, which went public in 2000, has grown consistently without acquisitions, and prides itself on innovative, energy-efficient technology.
