Cristina Stenbeck
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cristina Mayville Stenbeck (born 1977) is a leading Swedish business woman and the daughter and heiress of the capitalist Jan Stenbeck.
Cristina Stenbeck was born in New York, USA. Her mother, Merrill Stenbeck, née McLeod, is an American citizen, making her an American citizen too. Cristina grew up in Long Island but with strong connections to Sweden.
In 2002 her father died, and she became the heiress of his business empire, which revolves around the investment company her grandfather started - Investment AB Kinnevik. There is, however, an outgoing legal battle over Stenbeck's inheritance with Cristina Stenbeck and her siblings on one side and an illegitimate son of Jan Stenbeck on the other.
Since September 2005, Cristina Stenbeck is married to the English businessman Alexander Fitzgibbons.
