B eatriz Dávila de Santo Domingo is the widow of the Colombian beer magnate Julio Mario Santo Domingo, who built one of Latin America's largest fortunes. Upon his death in 2011, she inherited a significant portion of his vast estate, alongside her two sons, Alejandro and Andres, and her late husband's two children from a previous marriage. The core of the family's wealth was built on Bavaria Brewery, which her husband grew into a dominant player in the region.

Her late husband made a pivotal deal in 2005, trading Bavaria for a 15% stake in the world's then-second-largest brewer, SABMiller. This stake was transformed into a large shareholding in the current global leader, Anheuser-Busch InBev, after its megamerger with SABMiller in 2016. While her son Alejandro is the public face of the family, managing their investments through Quadrant Capital Advisors, Beatriz's wealth is intrinsically tied to this massive stake in the world's largest beer company. She maintains a low public profile.
