Susanne Thiel is the mother of prominent entrepreneur and investor Peter Thiel, born on October 11, 1967. Originally from Germany, she supported her family's international relocations during Peter's childhood, which included moves from Germany to Johannesburg, South Africa, in 1977, and later to the United States in 1979, settling in Foster City, California. Her husband, Klaus Friedrich Thiel, a chemical engineer, drove these moves for professional opportunities, and Susanne is noted for maintaining family stability amid these transitions. Public information about her personal life remains limited, as she has largely stayed out of the spotlight, focusing on familial roles rather than public or professional endeavors. Little is documented about Susanne Thiel's early life, education, or career beyond her role as a parent. She is described in biographical accounts of her son as a supportive figure in a family influenced by evangelical Christianity, with the Thiels attending church regularly during Peter's upbringing. The family's German heritage and subsequent American assimilation shaped Peter's worldview, though Susanne's specific contributions to this are not detailed in available sources. No records of her involvement in business, politics, or other sectors are publicly known, and she appears to have led a private life.
