Let’s get inspired by Top Female Billionaires
The theme for International Women’s Day (8 March) is “Think Equal, Build Smart, and Innovate for Change”. It sets revolution by females, for females, at the heart of efforts to attain gender equality.
International Women’s Day is a great time to throwback on progress made by women in every field. Today I will share the successful female billionaires’ stories all over the world.
1. Kylie Jenner
It’s already trending & not new news that Kylie Jenner was listed as the 21-year-old fashion icon. The reality star & kylie cosmetics owner is the world’s youngest self-made billionaire in Forbes’ “Richest People in the World” list.
The social media star has hit the 10-figure number and its official. As a result, she also dethroned the Facebook chief Mark Zuckerberg who earned the tag at 23.
However, It’s impossible to ignore the global debate about whether Jenner is really ‘self-made’.
2. Tatyana Bakalchuk
The second-youngest female self-made billionaire at 43 whom I will talk about this International women’s day.
Tatyana founded the e-commerce retailer Wildberries in 2004 in her Moscow apartment while she was on her maternity leave, as per Forbes. The brand is currently Russia’s largest online retailer, selling clothes from over 15,000 brands. She’s worth $1 billion.

After this, she invested her $5,000 life savings in founding Spanx in Atlanta and Georgia in 2000 when she was 27. We recently saw her as a guest judge on Shark Tank, a US version of Dragons’ Den.
