America’s Richest Women Celebrities

 

America's wealthiest female celebrities have once again showcased their financial prowess, with Forbes revealing their substantial fortunes. These self-made stars, including Oprah Winfrey, Taylor Swift, and Beyoncé, have seen remarkable financial growth. The list's 15 celebrities collectively hold a net worth of $13.3 billion, a 23% increase from the previous year.

Katy Perry made headlines by selling her music rights for $225 million, propelling her onto the list. Taylor Swift's ongoing Eras Tour has significantly boosted her wealth, reaching $1.3 billion. Beyoncé's Renaissance World Tour, along with a companion film, generated nearly $624 million, increasing her fortune to $760 million. Madonna's Celebration Tour also contributed over $225 million.

These achievements highlight the dominance of music industry icons, with seven of the 15 celebrities coming from this sector. Other notable names include Rihanna, whose wealth is largely from Fenty Beauty, and Serena Williams, a top athlete and venture capitalist.

The entry bar for the list is high, with a minimum net worth of $300 million. While most stars saw their fortunes grow, a few like Reese Witherspoon and Rihanna maintained their wealth. Notably, Kylie Jenner remains the youngest at 26, while Barbara Streisand and Judy Sheindlin are the oldest.
