She was born Josephine Esther Mentzer in Corona, Queens, New York, the daughter of a French Catholic/Hungarian Jewish mother and a Czechoslovak father. She was the only woman on "Time" magazine's 1998 list of the 20 most influential business geniuses of the 20th century. She was the recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

She married Joseph Lauder in 1930. They had two sons. Estée divorced Joseph in 1939, and re-married him in 1942. The couple remained married thereafter until his death in 1982. The Lauder family changed their surname to "Lauder" in the late 1930s. Estée Lauder was created in 1935. Her older son, Leonard Lauder, was chief executive of Estée Lauder and is now chairman of the board. Her younger son, Ronald Lauder, is a prominent philanthropist, a Republican political appointee in the Reagan administration, and developer of property in Berlin, among other endeavors.

Lauder died in her Manhattan residence of cardiopulmonary arrest, aged 97. [cite web|url=http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/04/12/national/main611403.shtml|title=Cosmetics Mogul Estee Lauder Dies|date=2004-04-25|publisher=cbsnews.com|accessdate=2008-08-08]
