Her father made her head of Sonangol, Angola’s state oil firm, in June 2016, but Angola’s new president removed her from that role in November 2017.

Forbes research found that while Isabel’s father was president, she ended up with stakes in Angolan companies including banks and a telecom firm.

According to Forbes, Isabel “is an independent business–woman and a private investor representing solely her own interests.” She owns shares of Portuguese companies, including telecom and cable TV firm Nos SGPS and has major stakes in several Angola-based and Portugual-based companies.
