OPRAH WINFREY: TALK SHOW HOST – $2.9BN
The richest women in the world right now need no introduction. Oprah Winfrey had a humble beginning, but she worked her way up to the top and she is net worth not in millions but billions. Not only is she the richest woman in the world, she also happens to be the most powerful. Her recent Golden Globe Award speech when she accepted the Cecil B. Demille award, was ground-breaking. Worldwide women try to emulate her. It was sheer hard work and wisdom that helped her amass such great wealth.
