7. Laurene Powell Jobs – Net Worth: $19.5 billion
When you hear the mention of the company Apple Inc., I am sure the mental image of the late Steve Jobs comes to your mind. Steve Jobs was one of the most inspiring entrepreneurs of present times, owing to his struggles early in life including quitting school and being fired from his own company, to later emerge as one of the best innovators in the world. Steve Jobs invested his life into building the Apple brand, which is today a multi-billion dollar company. When Steve Jobs died, his wife Laurene Powell Jobs inherited his wealth of $19.5 billion, making her one of the richest women in the world, the 25th richest American, and the 45th richest person in the world. Laurene is the founder and chairperson of the Emerson Collective.
