America’s 10 richest self made female billionaires (+Photos)

5. Oprah Winfrey – Net Worth: $3 billion

We all know Oprah. I mean, Tom Cruise jumped on her soda ten years ago. Yet there are other things that Oprah is known for, among them her net worth of $3 billion. So what has Oprah not done? She had a long-running daytime talk show, she has her own magazine (O Magazine) and television network (OWN), and she is super-rich after coming from humble beginnings. She is a producer, host, actress, and philanthropist. She created the Oprah’s Angel Network and loves to give free stuff away. She was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Not bad for a woman who grew up in poverty.
