Ralph Lauren brings to mind polished leisure—where preppy meets timeless elegance.

It’s a brand that feels equally at home at a Hamptons soirée or on a yacht off the Amalfi Coast.

Most know the fashion giant for its iconic polo shirts, but few have heard of the Lauren Family’s secret heiress: Dylan Lauren, who stands to inherit billions.

Dylan is the candy queen behind a $55 million empire, yet her father’s $8.8 billion fortune awaits. Despite her low profile, she’s an entrepreneurial powerhouse.

In today’s episode, we’ll show how Dylan—heir to one of fashion’s largest fortunes—manages to stay so hidden.

Dylan Lauren sits on a $55 million net worth from her own ventures, but inheriting billions from Ralph Lauren won’t hurt either.

Her father, whose empire spans everything from fashion to fragrances, is worth $8.8 billion as of 2024, making the Lauren family’s wealth nearly untouchable.

Yet, Dylan is more than an heiress—she’s the founder of Dylan’s Candy Bar, inspired by "Willy Wonka," now a technicolor wonderland of sweets.

Living the high life comes naturally when you're part of a fashion dynasty.

Dylan married hedge fund manager Paul Arrouet at the Lauren family’s Bedford estate, a sprawling property that embodies the family's elegance.

Her brothers aren’t slouches either: David is Chief Innovation Officer at Ralph Lauren Corporation, while Andrew is an actor and producer.

Dylan carved her own path with Dylan’s Candy Bar, proving the entrepreneurial gene runs strong in this family.

Her style reflects both her father's classic aesthetic and her own vibrant flair—often with candy-inspired designs.

Despite her vibrant personality, Dylan Lauren has largely stayed out of the public eye, focusing on her passion for sweets and building a business empire that complements her family’s legacy.

Let’s give the Lauren family some credit for having 3 children survive to adulthood and all be functioning adults. Seems like a hard working family.

I like the fact that despite the fact of being surrounded by wealth, Dylan decided to make it on her own.

Impressive and informative.

I wore ‘Lauren’ Perfume by Ralph Lauren for over 20 years, becoming my Signature Scent - until it became more difficult to purchase it in my part of my Country. In fact, I still have 2 tubes of ‘Lauren’ body lotion (which I use sparingly) and also saved a couple of Perfume Bottles for nostalgia after all these years - in an effort to elongate my scent experiences.

As a result, I switched to Happy by Clinique 20+ years ago - which was easier to purchase locally, becoming my new Signature Scent.

Watching this clip has inspired me to check if Lauren is available locally again - as I loved the ‘sense of elevation’ of my beloved Lauren ♥️

I also now look forward to visiting New York in the near future for my first time and visiting Dylan’s Candy Store! 🍭

Yes I've heard of her. It's easy to carve out your own niche when you have billions to fall back on

COMMENT: Had you heard of Dylan Lauren before - and what is your opinion on the broader Ralph Lauren brand and empire?

[miguelgonzalez]

Seems like a great lady with a dad I respect more now that I know he's a vet, a piece of information I hadn't heard before.

Very good story! This is the first I've ever heard about RL's children. Very interesting! Dylan seems very sharp! RL must be very proud!

[sindimatrix]

They all got a "hedge fund manager" husband, what a humble bunch,

[floridagirl]

No, I hadn’t heard of her. What a family legacy. They all work hard and earn a living. Her children are adorable.

[joannebarber]

It is good to see that a go getter can find balance in life. So Happy for Ralph and family.

[titizroyal]

It's true. I've never heard of Dylan Lauren who is the heiress to the Ralph Lauren Company. Thank you for your documentation.

Vancouver, BC. I recently bought a bomber jacket by RL and received so many compliments. Also my son has polo shirts with teddy bear. Very cute. After this video I should try the perfume.
I liked the video. 👍

That amazing and so fun to hear of such an amazing, awesome person that her family and how their lives are doing so much

[consciousnessrenaissance]

Her candy is full of sugar, preservatives and coloring. I would never eat it.
She in the other hand is retry and a smart businesswoman ❤🎉
I worked across the street from her candy store

[pamcornelius]

From a career in fitness to candy. Quite the leap.

[CedricSmith-unvm]

The first Cologne I ever bought for myself was Ralph Lauren Polo, I sprayed way to much, I have to go buy something Ralph Lauren when I have some money again, and I want some of her Candy. This is my first time learning about her, I am a Ralph Lauren customer.

[emilyaetheris]

I like the idea of a lasting marriage united family, showing that you can have it all, If only.

[chigal]

Her candy shop was in Chicago a few years ago. The gummie bears were excellent; I was disappointed she closed it.

[rdyrdyp]

Yes, I've heard of her. She. has quirks in her grammar (check out the wedding invite), and her wedding was children-themed with balloons and teddy bears (you haven't mentioned her fondness for teddy bears) and of course the palette for the wedding was candy-coloured. And she wasn't exactly a teeny bopper when she got married.

Superfluous father's money from fashion and more superfluous money from candy ...These people really leave a mark in humanity ! NOT
