Since she's prone to having affairs maybe some of you guys might get lucky.

She divested a bit prior to her and her company SKion buying in heavily to SGL Carbon SE, if you look at how BMW and Klatten created the automotive portion of SGL it was a blocking move and take over without taking over the whole company.
VIA REUTERS-Susanne Klatten, a major investor in carmaker BMW, is set to become head of the supervisory board at SGL Carbon, giving her more influence over the carbon fibre firm in which both BMW and rival VW have stakes.
SGL said on Wednesday (13.3) the supervisory board would ask shareholders at their April 30 annual meeting to approve Klatten as chairwoman.
In 2011 BMW secured a 15.7 percent stake in SGL, the only European maker of fibres that go into ultra-lightweight carbon reinforced plastics, stealing a march on Volkswagen , which holds almost 10 percent of the firm's shares.
Klatten, currently deputy chairwoman of the supervisory board, owns just under 27 percent of SGL Carbon via the Skion holding company.
Klatten and BMW own nearly 43% of SGL.
