As USA Today puts it, "the richest self-made woman in America is a roofer." Diane Hendricks, who owns America's largest wholesale roofing and siding distributor, tops Forbes' second annual list of the country's richest self-made women—meaning they earned rather than inherited their cash. The youngest woman on the list is 26-year-old Taylor Swift with a new worth of $250 million, but she sits at the 60th spot. Here's the top 10.
- Diane Hendricks, co-founder of ABC Supply: $4.9 billion
- Oprah Winfrey, TV personality and Weight Watchers rep: $3.1 billion
- Judy Faulkner, CEO of Epic Systems: $2.4 billion
- Doris Fisher, co-founder of Gap: $2.4 billion
- Johnelle Hunt, co-founder of J.B. Hunt Transport Services: $2.3 billion
- Marian Ilitch, co-founder of Little Caesars: $2.1 billion
- Meg Whitman, Hewlett Packard CEO: $2.1 billion
