Meet the richest women in America: Forbes400
in America are still predominantly men. But, among this year’s Forbes 400 list of the wealthiest people in the U.S., women continue to hold their ground. A total of 56 women made this year’s list, unchanged from a year ago . They’re worth a collective $564 billion, up by more than $100 billion from 2020.
MacKenzie Scott, ex-spouse of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, is the second richest woman for the second year in a row. This comes despite her giving away nearly $8.6 billion since 2020 to some 780 nonprofits as part of her ongoing efforts to donate her Amazon riches—which she described as made from “systems in need of change,” in ain June. Scott’s net worth still increased by $1.5 billion in the past year to $58.5 billion due to Amazon’s rising stock.
Although the total number of women list members remains the same, three newcomers and one returnee replaced four women from last year’s ranking. Oprah Winfrey dropped from the list despite her $2.6 billion fortune holding steady, making 2021 the first time in 26 years she hasn’t made The Forbes 400. Doris Fisher, cofounder of retailer Gap, also dropped off this year, as did real estate heirs Amy Goldman Fowler and Diane Kemper of New York.
