Serra belongs to an elite Turkish family, the Sabanci Clan. The family is behind Sabanci Holding, a Turkish financial, insurance, and industrial conglomerate.

Throughout her life, Serra has never been bothered by wealth. Even her extended family is wealthy. Notable fellow billionaires within the Sabanci household include Susan Sabanci and Sevket Sabanci, her cousin and niece, respectively.

Despite that, Serra would love to forget an ugly incidence that hit her family in 1996. Her father was shot down in his Istanbul office by hired assassins, the DHKP-C.

The shooting was a significant headline in Turkey and the financial world in general. The company would reopen shortly after to allow Serra and her brother Demir to take their rightful places.

Demir Sabanci held several executive positions at the company before eventually building his own empire, Sedes Holding.

At 44, successful and filthy rich, it is reasonable to ask why she is still single. Well, Serra was once married to Tycoon Byron Aktau.
