Rahel Blocher is the youngest of four children of Swiss industrialist and politician Christoph Blocher. In 2004, she started working at the Clariant and Elma Electronic. The same year, her father was elected to the Federal Council of the Swiss Government and passed his shares of Ems-Chemie on to children. Later, Rahel Blocher engaged in managing the father's consulting firm Robinvest and oversees the Rheinau Music Island Foundation.[2]

Blocher is not politically active. But in October 2021, she publicly stood against the COVID-19 law in Switzerland that, according to Blocher, would imply a "hidden obligation to vaccinate."[3]

Blocher made the 2022 Forbes Billionaires List, with an estimated wealth of US$7.6 billion and occupied the 313th position.[1]
