10 of The Richest Women on The Planet

These girls certainly do not need a man to pay their bills! Whether they simply lucked out and were born into a massive inheritance or worked their butts off to build their own empires, these ladies have plenty of spare change in the bank. Let’s look at some of the richest women on the planet.

1 – Martha Stewart

Domestic godess Martha Stewart is estimated to have a net worth of approximately $638 million. She is the queen of her own media empire which covers everything from publishing and broadcasting to merchandising of all manner of home products. Even her 5 months of jail time for insider trading hasn’t made a dent in her fortune making her one of the world’s most wealthy women.

2 – Jocelyn Wildenstein

She is probably most famous for her extensive facial surgeries which have left her looking fairly horrific, but that is just one side of her extravagent lifestyle. She once claimed that her annual phone bill is around $60,000 and that she spends more than half a million on food and wine every year. However, with a net worth of $500 million that’s pretty much ust pocket change to her!

3 – Donatella Versace

Donatella Versace is a queen in the fashion world and one of the richest women in the world to boot! Her net worth is around $200 million, but if she ever decided to sell her 20% stake in Versace she would be looking at pocketing approsimately $1.7 billion at its current market value.

4 – Elizabeth Holmes

You may not recognise Elizabeth Holmes, but with a net worth of alomost $4.5 billion she is among the richest women on the face of the planet. She is the founder and CEO of Theranos which is a US based company specializing in health technology and diagnostics.

5 – Liliane Bettencourt

Another wealthy woman who is not much of a celebrity is Liliane Bettencourt. You might not know her face, but you have surely heard her name. That is becasue she is one of the principal shareholders of L’Oreal. Not only that but she is also a successful business woman, philanthropist and French heiress. The socialite currently boasts a net worth of $36 billion.

She inherited her wealth from her late husband John Walton who was heir to retail giant Wal-Mart which was founded by his father Sam Walton. She may not be a self made billionaire, but with that bank balnce we doubt that she really cares!
