List of female billionaires

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Forbes magazine annually ranks the world's wealthiest female billionaires. This list uses the static rating published once a year by Forbes, usually in March or April. There were 337 women listed on the world's billionaires as of 4 April 2023, up from 327 in 2022.[1] Since 2021, Françoise Bettencourt Meyers has been listed as the world's wealthiest woman.

According to a 2021 billionaire census, women make up 11.9% of the billionaire cohort, and "just over half of all female billionaires are heiresses, with an additional 30% having a combination of inherited and created wealth." In the overall female billionaire cohort, 16.9% of billionaires are "self-made" and 53.5% gained their wealth through a combination of inheritance and "self-made" wealth as of 2017.[2]
