The 56 women of the Forbes400 are wealthier than ever before
here are only 56 women on this year’s Forbes 400 list of the richest people in America—the same number as last year. But as a group, they’re richer than ever, worth a combined $452 billion . Two of these 56 women—Judy Love and Lynda Resnick—cofounded companies with their husbands and are on the Forbes list as part of a couple.
More than 60% of the women on the list are worth less this year than last year. While e-commerce and video game stocks have risen during the pandemic, other sectors, including hospitality and oil and gas, took a hit. Elaine Wynn , the largest shareholder of casino giant Wynn Resorts, fell off the list as tourism came to a standstill and the stock fell 33% since the 2019 list.

From Oprah To Lady Gaga: Inside America’s Richest Self-Made Women List 2020I'm a San Francisco-based Assistant Managing Editor with a focus on wealth. I edit mostly, but also write about how the richest get wealthy and how they spend their time and their money. I oversee the massive reporting effort that goes into Forbes' annual World's Billionaires List and the Forbes 400 Richest Americans list. The former gets me to use my rusty Spanish and Portuguese. In 2014, I won an Overseas Press Club award for an article I wrote about Saudi Arabian billionaire investor Prince Alwaleed bin Talal; I also won a Gerald Loeb Award with co-author Rafael Marques de Morais for an article we wrote about Isabel dos Santos, the eldest daughter of Angola's President. Over 25 years my Forbes reporting has taken me to 17 countries on four continents, from the slums of Manila to palaces in Saudi Arabia and Mexico's presidential residence.
