SUCCESSFUL TO ENTER FORBES MAGAZINE

Fatma Tuba Yazıcı was one of the most striking names in Forbes Magazine's list of 'The Richest Turks' in 2020. Yazıcı, who has crossed the billion-dollar limit and entered the list, is actually not well known by the public.

Fatma Tuba Yazıcı is 41 years old and has 3 children. She is the head of Diler Holding, which she inherited from his husband, Recep Sami Yazıcı. Fatma Tuba Yazıcı, who lost her husband Recep Sami Yazıcı when she was just 36 years old, is a female boss who carries Diler Holding, whose main line of business is iron and steel, even further.

She does not prefer to be in the spotlight and refuses interview requests from the press. However, names close to her from the business world say that she makes great efforts to take the flag she received from her husband further and is known for her 'hard work'.

It is stated that Fatma Tuba Yazıcı has done the right things with the latest investment decisions taken by Diler Holding, thus increasing both the value of the holding and her personal wealth. Diler Holding was a company founded in 1949 in Karabük, Zonguldak. While increasing his investments in this iron and steel plant in Karabük, Recep Sami Yazıcı was a successful businessman who built Diler Holding with his investments in different fields. If he had not died at the age of 58, perhaps we would have heard his name very often. Recep Sami Yazıcı served as a member of the Board of Directors of Beşiktaş Club in 1990, 1992 and 1998, and also assumed the position of second chairman. He was also a close friend of TOBB former President Fuat Miras. After losing Recep Sami Yazıcı, Fuat Miras said, "My friend, whom I have known since the age of 18, was not my partner, but also my brother. He was a businessman who accomplished all his work with his own energy and intelligence.”

Fatma Tuba Yazıcı was born in 1973 in Istanbul. She is a graduate of the Faculty of Letters. She has three sons. Both are over 18 years old. She enjoys a well-deserved prestige both as the head of companies and as a businesswoman who quietly lends her hand to social responsibility projects.
