top 10 richest women in the world

1) Christy Walton
Christy Walton is not only the reigning queen of Wal-Mart Corp, but is also the holder of the world’s richest woman title. With $25. 3 billion to her name, John Walton’s widow is surely bursting at the seams with wealth. Upon the death of her husband in 2005, Christy inherited all the money, shares, and assets left to her by her other half.

She is America’s fourth richest person and the world’s tenth wealthiest individual. How great it must be to fill her shoes even for just a day! Of course, it would be more enticing if she didn’t have a Fortune 500 company on her shoulders. After all, with great power (and wealth), comes great responsibility. Spiderman’s uncle couldn’t have said it any better.


2) Lilliane Bettencourt
Being into make-up might just be your ticket to be counted among the world’s richest women. Judging by the wealth amassed by Lilliane Bettencourt from L’Oreal, the cosmetic and beauty industry must be a really lucrative one. She is said to have $24 billion in her treasure chest, or at least, her bank accounts, company shares, and other possessions.

The 89-year-old is famous worldwide for being a clever business woman as well as a golden-hearted philanthropist. With the amount of money she has, she can definitely afford to give some away. Anyone else wants to be put down on the list of her charities?
