MARTHA STEWART: BUSINESSWOMAN/ TV HOST – $638 MILLION
With her own hard work and intelligence, Martha Stewart has built a huge empire for herself and her coming generations. Her net worth of $638 million proves that she has come a long way. She had short stints of working in various other professions before she found her niche. She was also part of some legal trouble when she had to go to prison. Though she hired the best lawyer, she couldn’t avoid the inevitable. However, after she was released, she picked up from where she had left and, eventually, made a fortune. Though she lives in New York, her 35,000 square feet ranch Skylands is famous. There are house tours of this fabulous ranch that once belonged to automobile engineer Edsel Ford.
