Lily Safra the 701st richest person in the world http://www.shanagrant.com/donate
Lily Safra is a Brazilian philanthropist and social figure who attained considerable wealth after four marriages. Her fourth husband, the prominent banker Edmond Safra, died in 1999 in a fire in their apartment in Monaco. Her net worth is estimated at $1 billion, ranking her as the 701st richest person in the world according to Forbes in 2009. She owns a $506 million house, "Villa Leopolda", in the French Riviera.
Safra was born as Lily Watkins in 1938 in Porto Alegre, Brazil to a Scottish railwayman who moved to South America and a Czech mother. At the age of 17, she married Mario Cohen, an Argentine hosiery magnate. They had three children: Claudio (died in a car crash in Brazil ca. 1989.), Eduardo, and Adriana.
Lily and Mario Cohen divorced in the early 1960s. In 1965, she married Freddy Monteverde (formerly Greenberg), a leader in the Brazilian household appliance distribution business. He and Lily had one child, named Carlos. Freddy Monteverde committed suicide in 1969. She married a businessman named Samuel Bendahan in 1972, but divorced him after about a year of marriage.
In 1976, she married Edmond Safra, a prominent Brazilian-naturalized Jewish Lebanese banker, and the founder, among other achievements, of Republic National Bank of New York. The couple divided their time between homes in Monaco, Geneva, New York and Villa Leopolda on the French Riviera. In a crime that attracted extensive media interest, Edmond Safra was killed in a fire that was determined to be arson. The couple had no children together.
In 2010, she was said to be the winning bidder of Alberto Giacometti's L'Homme qui marche I which became one of the most expensive works of art ever sold at auction for £58 million; Sotheby's and Mrs. Safra declined to confirm or deny this. Including the buyer's premium the price reached £65 million (US$103.7 million).
Lily is the honorary chair of the International Sephardic Education Foundation.
