Jennifer Sloan Ryan (born Jennifer Emily Dunham; October 24, 1988) is an American businesswoman and philanthropist. She is the heiress to the fortune of her late maternal grandmother Amelia Vega Hayes. The fortune a secret, Sloan and her siblings discovered Hayes' secret $500.12 million in the summer of 2018 and has since used her share for her husband's business interests and their nonprofit organization the Sloan Foundation. She and her ex-husband William Sloan have been recognized for their philanthropy which includes receiving the U.S. Presidential Medal of Freedom and becoming a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador.

Early life, family and inheritance

Sloan was born as Jennifer Emily Dunham on October 24, 1988 at Oregon Health & Science University Hospital to Celina née Hayes, an educator, and Joseph Dunham, a mechanic. Her mother is of Filipino-American descent and her father an immigrant from the United Kingdom. Her maternal grandmother, Amelia Vega, was Filipino and her maternal grandfather, Philip Hayes, was a Seattle native. In an interview, Sloan described herself as a "proud Filipino-American woman" and said that her maternal grandmother made sure to share her Filipino culture and Catholic faith. She has an older brother, Jacob and two younger identical twin sisters, Josephine and Jessica. She and her siblings were raised as Catholic but did not attend Catholic school nor were raised with a strict Catholic upbringing.

In 1998, Dunham's parents died in a car accident while traveling on Interstate 205 in Vancouver, Washington. Her and her siblings were subsequently raised by Amelia until she passed away in 2008.

In 2018, Dunham married billionaire business magnate in the port of London after their voyage on MV Viking Sea (2015). They have two children: William II and Judah. In late 2021, Sloan and her husband divorced in Marion County Superior Court citing irreconcilable differences. Sloan went on to marry Cordonian Prince Leonardo, Duke of Moselle. The Cordonian royal family announced the marriage took place January 1, 2022 and addressed her as The Duchess of Moselle. Sloan told Trend that she does not use the title and prefers her name Jennifer Sloan in her professional career.
