The richest self-made woman remains Swiss shipping tycoon Rafaela Aponte-Diamant ($33.1 billion).<br/><br/>Overall, 66% of the world’s billionaires are self-made—meaning they founded or cofounded their company or established their own fortune, rather than inheriting it–down from 69% in 2023. That includes nearly all 17 of the cryptocurrency billionaires on the 2024 list, who have come roaring out of the “crypto winter,” thanks to Bitcoin and other crypto assets trading at record highs.<br/><br/>Read the full story on Forbes: https://www.forbes.com/sites/chasewithorn/2024/04/02/forbes-38th-annual-worlds-billionaires-list-facts-and-figures-2024/?sh=32eb225943a6<br/><br/>Subscribe to FORBES: https://www.youtube.com/user/Forbes?sub_confirmation=1<br/><br/>Fuel your success with Forbes.
