The list of famous female billionaires is short and sweet. See who are the most wealthy celebrity women in our gallery here.

Some say it’s a man’s world, but women have changed that narrative. There are only a handful of female celebrities who rank as billionaires, and just a fraction of those are household names. Some of these gals found fame before raking in the big bucks, like Rihanna and Kim Kardashian. Others became public figures after making it big in the business or philanthropy worlds, like Facebook’s Sheryl Sandberg or Jeff Bezo’s ex-wife Mackenzie Scott.

One of the most famous female billionaires in the world is Oprah Winfrey. The media mogul made her fortune off TV, magazines, and high-profile brand partnerships.

Some things just aren’t meant to last… Kylie Jenner originally topped Forbes’ list of youngest self-made billionaires in 2019, but by 2021 she fell off the B-list and her reported wealth had plummeted to a mere $600m by 2022, per Forbes. The reason for the slip? In an expose, Forbes accused the Kardashian-Jenner family of misrepresenting the makeup mogul’s assets in order to inflate her value.

Elaine Wynn may have a less public profile, but her name is as big as any, especially if you’re in Sin City. The hotel and casino bigshot ended up making above a billion dollars following ex-husband Steve Wynn’s departure from Wynn Resorts in March 2018. He sold all of his shares, leaving her at the helm.  She’s not afraid to play hardball, either. Through some business strong-arming, Elaine forced the resignations of two longtime board members who were Steve loyalists in May 2018.
