Frequently Asked Questions

Why aren't these women ranked by net worth?
Net worth fluctuates daily with stock prices, currency moves and asset revaluations, so any ranking would be out of date the next morning. The catalog instead lists figures grouped by industry and ordered by date of birth within each group.
Are royal women like Queen Rania or Sheikha Moza listed here too?
No. Queens, princesses and royal mothers are documented under the dedicated Arab Royals & Princes, Asian Royals & Princes and European Royals & Princes categories. This page focuses on private-sector wealth holders only.
Are ex-wives, widows and divorcées of billionaires considered wealthy women in their own right?
Yes, when the wealth is held in their name. Julia Koch holds a major stake in Koch Industries after the death of her husband David. MacKenzie Scott received about a quarter of Amazon's stock in her divorce from Jeff Bezos and has since given billions to charity. Laurene Powell Jobs leads the Emerson Collective with the fortune she inherited from Steve Jobs. Melinda French Gates kept a substantial stake from her divorce settlement with Bill Gates. The catalog tracks individuals, not couples or family units.
