Anita Zucker (born May 11, 1952) is an American billionaire businesswoman, philanthropist, and prominent political donor based in South Carolina. She is the chairperson of The InterTech Group, a multinational chemical manufacturing company headquartered in Charleston, South Carolina, which she took over following the death of her husband, Jerry Zucker, in April 2008. Jerry had founded the company in 1984 after immigrating from South Africa. Under Anita's leadership as chairperson and former CEO, InterTech has grown into a significant player in the global chemical industry with operations spanning multiple countries and a focus on specialty chemicals and industrial gases. Her business acumen stabilized and expanded the firm during challenging economic periods, contributing to her status as one of the wealthiest women in the United States, with a net worth estimated in the billions primarily derived from InterTech's success.

Beyond business, Zucker is actively involved in philanthropy, supporting initiatives in education, healthcare, arts, and community development, particularly in South Carolina. She has made substantial donations to institutions like the College of Charleston, the Medical University of South Carolina, and various cultural organizations, often through the Zucker Family Foundation established in honor of her late husband. Politically, she is a major donor to Republican causes and candidates in South Carolina, contributing millions to support conservative policies on education, economic development, and social issues. Her donations have influenced state-level politics, including support for gubernatorial and legislative campaigns aligned with pro-business agendas.

Zucker has also held influential roles outside InterTech, including a position as chair of the Hudson's Bay Company, a historic Canadian retail conglomerate, though her primary focus remains on her home state. Residing in Charleston, she embodies Southern business leadership, with her personal life centered around family and legacy-building after the loss of her husband. While maintaining a relatively private profile, her influence networks connect business, philanthropy, and politics, making her a key figure in mapping South Carolina's power structures.
