*Lynsi Snyder, the owner and president of the In-N-Out Burger restaurant chain.*

Lynsi Snyder had a lot to celebrate when she turned 35 last Friday.

Snyder's family founded the highly successful In-N-Out burger chain, and according to the terms of her inheritance she received 50% of the company when she turned 30--and then [received the rest on her 35th birthday](http://www.businessinsider.com/in-n-out-president-lynsi-snyder-inheritance-2017-5).

When Snyder officially took over the remaining shares to the In-N-Out burger fortune, she became one of the youngest billionaires in the country. The company was [valued at $1.1 billion](http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2013-02-04/youngest-american-woman-billionaire-found-with-in-n-out) in 2013.

[Bloomberg reported](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2013-02-04/youngest-american-woman-billionaire-found-with-in-n-out) that through a series of family tragedies, Snyder became the sole heir to the fortune her grandfather seeded when he opened the first In-N-Out drive-thru in Baldwin Park, east of Los Angeles, in 1948.

In-N-Out remains a privately held company, and Snyder herself has largely remained private about her personal life. She rarely gives interviews, and is deeply religious, maintaining a faith-based [foundation](http://www.armyoflove.com/) and having provided one of the sole peeks into her life [to Christian media group](http://www.iamsecond.com/seconds/lynsi-snyder/).

Yet she also maintains unusual interests, [including drag racing](http://www.nhra.com/news/2016/nhra-today-lynsi-snyder-ellingson), a passion that ran in her family. She's been [married four times](http://people.com/celebrity/billionaire-in-n-out-heiress-spiral-marriage/).

In-N-Out now has 324 restaurants in six states. Snyder serves as president.
