According to the most recent Forbes magazine ranking, two women currently share the title, and they're related. Alice Walton (56), daughter of Wal-Mart founder Sam Walton, is worth roughly 18 billion bucks. Alice lives in Texas, where she raises horses.
Helen Walton (85), the widow of Sam, is also good for lunch, with an estimated net worth of $18 billion. She currently resides in Bentonville, Arkansas, where she sponsors a preschool.
Liliane Bettencourt (82), the daughter of L'Oréal founder Eugene Schueller, is the next lady on the list, with approximately 17.2 billion. She lives in France, where she awards a science prize every year.
Nine of the world's fifty richest people are women. The richest self-made woman in the world is Rosalia Mera (61) of Spain, who is worth approximately $2 billion. She started off making gowns and lingerie in her home. Her business eventually grew into the apparel manufacturer Inditex, which sold $6 billion worth of clothes last year.
And what about Oprah? According to Forbes, the media mogul is worth around $1.3 billion. Not too shabby, but still a ways behind the Walton women. |

Rich in terms of Ca$H?
The richest woman, is the one that is happy with her lot. The one that is happy with her husband and children, the one that is happy with all she has, even if it is litte, the one that truly has a smile on her face that sparks the world, that is the richest woman out there.
As for the richest with cash, well, I don't ever care for that, because I don't think they are really rich, the green bills may make them SEEM and FEEL rich, but it does not mean they are.

According to Forbes magazine, it's Alice B. Walton daughter of Sam Walton, founder of Walmart and Sam's Clubs retailers. At about $18 billion each, she and her mom -- Helen Robson Kemper Walton -- are about a billion ahead of number three. That would be Liliane Bettencourt, daughter of the founder of L'Oreal cosmetics.
Oprah's way back in the pack at number 562 with a paltry $1.4 billion. |

two women share the honor --- Alice Walton(18 billion dollars) and the other one is Liliane Bettencourt(17.2 billion dollars).... Oprah's worth a little over 1 billion. |

Perhaps the Queen of England, Elizabeth II...
Then Oprah Winfrey. :-)
If I were not to look it up, I would have thought the above
choices. However, doing some research on the Forbes
website, acording to their 2006 list, the woman highest
on the list is...
1 - Liliane Bettencourt (#15 overall at a net worth of $16B)
2 - Christy Walton (Walmart, #17 overall, net worth $15.9B) |

technically, it is Bill Gate's wife. However, if you are looking for a woman that was solely responsible for her own wealth simply check the Forbe's list |

Probably some Jewish woman. Just kidding.
According to Forbes, Liliane Bettencourt is the world's richest female, worth $16 billion. |
