Senior Editor Maggie McGrath sits with Assistant Managing Editor Kerry A. Dolan to discuss the 10th anniversary of America's Richest Self-Made Women List.
Bigger fortunes. More billionaires. Increasing impact. Forbes marks the 10th anniversary of our annual list by celebrating how far these 100 entrepreneurs, executives and entertainers have come. Together these ceiling breakers are worth a combined $155 billion, more than ever before.
There are 38 billionaires this year, with fortunes originating in everything from cars to cosmetics to Chardonnay. That’s more than double the 18 billionaires we found on our first list in 2015 and up from 31 billionaires last year. The minimum net worth to make the cut is $350 million, up from $300 million last year. Back in 2015, when we ranked only 50 women, the minimum to qualify was $250 million. Thirty six members of the original list from a decade ago made the 2025 edition.
