The richest woman in the world: her beauty, her intelligence, her power. A photographer: his ambition, his audacity, his madness. A love at first sight that sweeps them away. A mistrustful heiress fighting to be loved. A watchful butler who knows more than he lets on. Family secrets. Astronomical donations. A war where anything goes.

Jake Wilson Sydney Morning Herald 3d
3.5/5
Much of The Richest Woman In The World is played for laughs... But this is comedy of manners rather than satire or burlesque, permitting us to take the characters seriously enough to speculate on what drives them. Go to Full Review Jessica Kiang Variety 05/20/2025
[The Richest Woman in the World] feels simultaneously beneath Huppert and entirely built around her. What pleasures it yields stem exclusively from watching the actress swan around without breaking a sweat in a role tailored to her specifications.

Despite some dark jokes about the gilded cage of the rich, the film lacks the killer instinct to make this battle for power deliciously devious -- or, conversely, surprisingly sympathetic and nuanced. Go to Full Review John McDonald johnmcdonald.net.au 1d
Had she been poor, Pierre-Alain would have shown no interest whatsoever. Instead, he conducts a passionate affair with Marianne’s money. Go to Full Review Jim Schembri jimschembri.com 3d
3/5
A solid high-life drama about wealth, greed and manipulation, with the inestimable Isabelle Huppert leading a fine cast...with Lafitte doing a good job at making the interloper so obnoxious you want to reach into the screen and give his nose a good pinch.

Howie B @Howie10 Mar 8 Time flies when you’re having fun, and it did watching this ‘almost documentary’. A world away from the lives of the majority of us at a time when ‘rich’ was not the flavour of the month. Strong acting performances and a script which kept on delivering. See more Read all reviews
