Women
A Record Number Of Women Billionaires
A total of 172 women, up 25% from 2013, have made Forbes 28th annual billionaires’ list. Women now make up 10% of the global super-rich, thanks to a huge influx of female wealth, led by Sheryl Sandberg. With a personal fortune worth more than $1B (£599M), she became one of the highest-profile new entrants to the Forbes list, joining Meg Whitman of Hewlett-Packard as the only other female tech billionaire.
