Forbes just released its second annual list of America’s Richest Self-Made Women and it comes as no surprise the Oprah Winfrey and Beyonce landed on it.
Both Queen Bey and Mama O are legendary innovators in their respective fields. Winfrey almost single handedly built her brand as the queen of all media and Beyoncé’s music-making empire has earned her a fortune.
To be considered on the list of 60 powerful women, you myst have a minimum individual net worth of $250 million.
Winfrey has accumulated a net worth of a cool $3.1 billion—buoyed in part to her new ties to Weight Watchers. Although Beyoncé trailed a little behind on the list, she still managed to rake in over $265 million mostly due to her watermelon water investment, a world tour, and new Ivy Park clothing line.
