C arrie Perrodo is a French billionaire businesswoman and philanthropist who inherited her fortune after the death of her husband, Hubert Perrodo, in 2006. Hubert Perrodo was the founder of Perenco, one of the world's largest privately owned oil and gas exploration and production companies. Born in Singapore as Ka Yee "Carrie" Wong, she started her career as a model before she met and married Hubert.

After her husband's death in a mountaineering accident, Carrie and her three children, François, Nathalie, and Bertrand, inherited the massive oil and gas enterprise. Her eldest son, François, now leads the company as chairman. Perenco specializes in acquiring and operating mature oil and gas fields, often in challenging locations in Africa, Latin America, and Southeast Asia. The family has successfully continued to run and expand the business, which remains the cornerstone of their immense and discreetly managed wealth.
