Can you guess who is going to appear on the list of the top 5 richest people in the world? You can probably think of the richest men, such as Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, but not women……………….Is that so? Generally, the spotlight falls upon men, but what about the wealthiest women? While there aren’t any women on the upper tier of wealthiest people in the world, there’s no denial of the fact that some women around the globe have been making huge fortunes. The count of women billionaires is rising gradually. According to a census, 11.9% of the billionaire cohort entails women. The initial idea that might cross your mind after looking at our list of the top 5 richest women in the world is that these women must have inherited their fortune. Although it’s partially true, it isn’t fair to label their fortune as an inheritance alone. It is difficult to keep inheritance intact if one doesn’t have the necessary financial acumen. If it weren’t for their leadership and guts, these richest women wouldn’t have been on this list today. These women were able to not just preserve their wealth but make and grow business out of it.
