A rout in the U.S. stock market this spring pushed down the combined net worth of America’s richest self-made women to $111 billion, a 6% drop from last year, and lowered the admission cutoff to $215 million, down from $225 million a year ago. Thirty-eight of the 100 on this list are worth less than in 2021, but 51 are wealthier, including seven newcomers and seven who return to the ranks after having previously fallen off. Among the notable new faces: movie star Sandra Bullock and recurring Shark Tank judge Emma Grede. Fifty are featured here. For the full ranking, please go to forbes.com/self-made-women.
