America’s Richest Women Celebrities
The list of America's Richest Women Celebrities, compiled by Forbes, boasts a lofty threshold for inclusion, with a minimum net worth of $300 million required to secure a spot among the top 100. This year's cutoff marks a significant increase from the previous year's $225 million. The majority of celebrities on the list saw their wealth increase, with only Reese Witherspoon and Rihanna maintaining their previous net worth. Notably, Shonda Rhimes, the acclaimed producer and screenwriter behind hits like Grey's Anatomy and Bridgerton, failed to cut this year after debuting on the 2023 list.
1. Oprah Winfrey
Net worth: $3 billion
Self-made score: 10
Age: 70
Following her public disclosure about using a weight loss drug, the former TV host revealed her decision to depart from the WeightWatchers board in February, concluding a nine-year tenure. She generously donated her company stock to the National Museum of African American History and Culture. Her impressive assets include extensive landholdings, comprising over 2,100 acres in Hawaii, and multiple residences in Santa Barbara, California, showcasing her diverse investments beyond the entertainment industry.

Net worth: $1.7 billion
Self-made score: 7
Age: 43
Kim Kardashian's wealth surged by $500 million last July, courtesy of her shapewear brand Skims' impressive $270 million funding round, which valued the company at a staggering $4 billion. Her skincare and beauty empire, SKKN By Kim, continued its momentum in January with a successful makeup line launch, exceeding partner Coty Inc.'s expectations. However, her private equity firm, SKKY Partners, seems to be struggling, having raised only $121 million in capital by March, significantly short of its ambitious $1 billion target
3. Rihanna
Net worth: $1.4 billion
Self-made score: 10
Age: 36
Rihanna, the Barbados-born pop sensation, welcomed her second child, Riot Rose, in a joyful celebration, just months after announcing her pregnancy during the Super Bowl halftime show. Her impressive wealth is largely attributed to her 50% ownership of Fenty Beauty, her successful cosmetics venture with LVMH, the parent company of Sephora. Fenty Beauty continues to thrive, with the recent launch of a new mascara, further solidifying Rihanna's entrepreneurial skills.
