C ristina Green is a South African-born British businesswoman and the wife of the controversial British retail tycoon, Sir Philip Green. The family's immense wealth was built through Philip Green's company, the Arcadia Group, which for decades was a dominant force on the British high street, owning a portfolio of famous fashion chains including Topshop, Topman, Dorothy Perkins, and Burton.

While her husband was the public face and operator of the retail empire, Cristina Green is the legal owner of the family's main holding companies, which are based in the tax-friendly jurisdiction of Monaco. This ownership structure has been the subject of significant public and political scrutiny, particularly regarding the family's tax arrangements and the collapse of their other major retail chain, BHS. The Arcadia Group itself fell into administration in 2020, marking the end of an era for the high-profile retail dynasty.
