Can women be among the top niche of the society? Yeah, sure they can be and why not. Actually most of the time when the word “richest” flashes in our brains, we think of the tech-savvy Bill Gates or Warren Buffet, the male ones but women are also very rich and have cemented their place among one of the very wealthy persons in the world. Let us run down the list of the top ten richest women in the world.
10. Wu Yajun
Unbeknown-st to many people, they are born wealthy and don’t have to earn their place among the list of richest persons of the world. There are others who have to work their way through to get the top a respectable position among the list world’s richest persons. Wu Yajun is among the second group who, from 1984 to 1988, worked at the Qianwei Meter Factory. From 1988 to 1993, Madam Wu worked as a journalist and editor with the China Shirong News Agency. After a lot of struggle she happened to be the Chairperson and Chief Executive Officer of Longfor Properties Co., Ltd in September 2005. At the age of 47 her net worth is $5.5 Billion and she is a citizen of China. She is married and I must say that her Mister is really a lucky person to have such a wife.
9. Georgina Rinehart
She was born at St John’s, Perth, Western Australia on 9 February 1954. She is the Chairman of Hancock Prospecting. She is a widow with four children and has a net worth of $9 Billion at the age of 57 years. Georgina is the richest woman in Australia.
8. Maria-Elisabeth and Georg Schaeffler

7. Jacqueline Mars
Born on October 10, 1940, Jacqueline Badger Mars is the daughter of Forrest Edward Mars and granddaughter of Frank C. Mars. Both Edward and Frank were the founders of the American candy company Mars and her share in the company makes her worth $10 Billion. She is presently 71 years of age. I wish I could ask her for a carton of Mars chocolate. It is my little brother’s favorite one…

Just for some of you Oprah is number 420 in the richest people in the world and in worth 2.7 billion dollars. she is not on of the richest people in the world. Sure she does a lot of good things for us and uses her money for the needy but she is not the richest person in the world like some of you think. she isn’t even the richest female in the world.
