Self-Made Women: Taylor Swift and Kylie Jenner Make Forbes' List

In a list of the 100 richest self-made women in America, Taylor Swift and Kylie Jenner both made the cut. Swift ranked 34th with a net worth of $740 million, while Jenner came in at 38th with a net worth of $680 million.

While both women are incredibly successful, they are still far from the top of the list. The richest woman in America is Diane Hendricks, the widow of Home Depot co-founder Bernie Marcus. Hendricks has a net worth of $15 billion.

Other women in the top 10 include Judy Love, the owner of Love's Travel Stops and Country Stores ($10.2 billion); Judy Faulkner, the founder of Epic Systems ($7.4 billion); and Lynda Resnick, the co-owner of The Wonderful Company ($5.3 billion).

Swift and Jenner made their fortunes through different means. Swift is a singer and songwriter who has sold over 200 million albums worldwide. Jenner is a reality TV star and the founder of Kylie Cosmetics.

While both women are successful in their own right, they are still a long way from the top of the list of America's richest women. However, with their continued success, it is possible that they could one day make it to the top.

Here is a list of the top 10 richest self-made women in America in 2023:

  • Diane Hendricks ($15 billion)
  • Judy Love & family ($10.2 billion)
  • Judy Faulkner ($7.4 billion)
