[GET] 36 Self-made Woman Billionaires: How They Made Their Billions

[StillStanding]

There are currently 36 Self-made Woman Billionaires in the world. This is a study of how these superwomen made their fortunes? I adopt the 6-W approach. (1) Why do we need to study Self-made billionaires? (2) Where do they come from? Which countries? Are there any immigrants? Are any of them from small towns? (3) Who are they? (4) How did they make their immense wealth? Which sector? (5) What did they study? What educational background do they have? Did they attend elite universities? (4) What kind of spousal support did they receive? What kind of family support did they receive? Do all of them get their start-up capital from venture capitalist or from Wall Street? (6) How many of them are married? What is their average age? What is their average number of children? What is their average number of divorce etc?

The biggest surprise I found is "You can have it all". Besides the obvious wealth, this group of women is also relatively young, with an average age of 58 which is about 10 years younger than their male counterparts. To top it all, over 95% of them are married and over 90% have children, with average number of children 2.7. About one third of them (12 out of 36) are either (1) high school dropouts (2) high school graduate or (3) college dropouts. More than 90% of them have great success in both business and family. A few of them are household names, such as Oprah Winfrey and JK Rowling, most are little known even in their own countries.

This is the first of a series of book on self-made billionaires. We build museums to house famous artists. We adore great athletes in Olympics and Word Cup. We adore super-entertainers, and we create Nobel Prize for super-scientists and super-politicians. So, why not celebrate self-made billionaires too? Why not build a pantheon for self-made women billionaires?

There are two reasons why I chose woman group to start. The first reason is start-small, a valuable lesson I learned in the many start-up failures I have had. The woman group with only 36 members, allows me to start-small. I have a database of more than 1,000 self-made billionaires. If I include a few hundreds, I think I will bore most readers. The second reason is my Christian values, which lead me to begin my study with one of the most disadvantaged group.

Hmmm....36 in the whole world. Compared to 585 U.S. billionaires, and 2,210 total billionaires in the world. I think I'd be focusing on what the majority did rather than those who seemed to be a fluke. Even in the U.S. with the odds stacked in their favor, women don't meet even 30% of self-made business owners. With laws guaranteeing them government contract preferences, companies forced to give them preference in contracts through affirmative action, millions of dollars available in grants and loans which are not available to males, special programs and hand holding, women in the U.S. rarely go into business, and fewer still are very successful. When you're lucky enough to find the one or two women who have that driving force to build a business, you've truly found someone special. P.S. I wouldn't count anyone from China, male or female, as they are usually "State Sponsored" and not "self made". Rafaela Aponte, isn't really self-made as her husband appears to have helped build the company. According to Forbes magazine, they both founded the company, in 1970. Giuliana, also isn't a self-made, her two brothers and her started the company. Sheryl Kara Sandberg seemed top have made her money because of shares she earned working for Facebook and Google. Not exactly "self-made". That just a few from the authors list above.

Is it considered "self-made" if you are a woman who marries a billionaire? :D

Self-made Women Definition:

Marry a multi-billionaire (or any potentially good, hard working man) at age 21, tell him if you REALLY love me you won't have me sign a pre-nup, stay with him for 10 years and have 2 kids, no-fault divorce him and get 50% of everything he ever owned both pre and post marriage, plus alimony (in some States for life if you don't remarry), plus the house. plus childcare (read...even more money for me to spend on shoes), 50% of all future assets like 401K, bonds, stocks, etc....

Talk about "rape culture" on campus (which much like man-made global warming is BS)?????
Maybe the definition should be changed to Divorce Culture Rape instead!!! (at Family Courts throughout the USA)

PS - Not bitter, just observant.

PPS - +5 Reps! And yes, there are SOME self-made women I acknowledge that and respect them, but as Citadel said above they are few and far between the actual builders, creators, entrepreneurs, Nobel prize winners (of the sciences) of society......MEN !

No. She'll be a "self-made" billionaire when she divorces her husband who (poor chap) will then be transformed into a "wife-made" hundredaire.
