15 newcomers have joined Forbes' latest list of America's Richest SelfMadeWomen:
ot even a worldwide pandemic stopped women entrepreneurs and executives from making their mark during the past year. Fifteen newcomers joinedlatest list of America’s Richest Self-Made Women, with fortunes built in fintech, solar energy, online education and more.
The newcomers range in age from 32 to 75 and hail from 7 states. All are worth at least $225 million, the cutoff to make this year’s ranking. The best known are singer and investor Dolly Parton and supermodel-turned-entrepreneur Cindy Crawford. Others, like Caulipower founder Gail Becker, turned a home-cooked innovation into a buzzy company. Rising stock prices and timely IPOs helped parachute several others into the ranks for the first time.
Many of this year’s fresh faces are pioneers in industries that saw a rise in demand during the pandemic. Jacqueline Reses and Alyssa Henry both amassed their wealth through stakes in electronic payments company Square, which provides tools for small businesses by facilitating online and electronic payments. Rachel Carlson built her estimated $500 million fortune through Guild Education, which helps companies offer competitive education benefits to frontline employees.
And Figs cofounders and co-CEOs Trina Spear and Heather Hasson each amassed over $600 million fortunes selling fashionable and comfortable medical scrubs during a time when the spotlight on the importance of medical professionals shone brighter than ever. Other newcomers were surprise successes, building their fortunes in industries that were hit particularly hard over the past year. Caryn Seidman-Becker got rich after buying a company out of bankruptcy and creating Clear Secure, the biometric security service used in airport security checkpoints and stadiums. Even though the pandemic upended the travel industry, Clear Secure went public in June in an IPO that valued the company at $4.5 billion.
