How the richest women are ranked
The women on this list span self-made founders and heirs to some of the world's largest fortunes. Where their wealth sits in publicly-traded stock — Walmart, L'Oréal, BMW, and others — we value it live from the current share price. Where it sits in private holdings, we use a manually-updated estimate.
The ranking re-sorts continuously as markets move, so a woman whose fortune is tied to a fast-moving stock can climb or slip within the day. All numbers are independent, directional estimates, not audited valuations.
