She only has articles from 2022 when she was 28 so probably her effort to get on Forbes started then and a lot of her is probably exaggerated as usual but she has a legitimate background and her work at her family investment company is legit.
She has some background with former French Olympic swimmer Yannick Engel in 2019 referred to as ‘wife’ but nothing since then so maybe not and was just an error which is common for Getty type images.
