The Ringier family (/rɪn.dʒɪər/ RIN-jeer) is a prominent Swiss political and business family recognized for its substantial contributions to the media and publishing sectors.[1] The family's lineage in the media industry dates back to the establishment of Ringier in 1833 by Johann Rudolf Ringier.[2]
This enterprise has since evolved into one of Switzerland's leading media conglomerates, engaging in a diverse array of publications, including newspapers, magazines, and digital media platforms. The family is considered one of the wealthiest families in Switzerland, with an estimated net worth ranging from 1,5 to 2 billion Swiss francs estimated by Bilanz.[3][4][5]
