Forbes has released its list of America’s richest self-made women in 2025, with 16 celebrities worth a collective $14.1 billion, rank among the 100 entrepreneurs, executives and entertainers.

 

According to Forbes, “in order to make the cut, candidates had to be worth at least $350 million – uo from $300 million last year and $225 million in 2023.”

 

Forbes says “These stars of the stage and screen are collectively worth $14.1 billion, up from $13.3 billion last year – thanks to the addition of actress Selena Gomez (No. 48), who isn’t yet a billionaire but whose estimated $700 million net worth makes up almost the entirety of that difference.”

 

The magazine added that “Most of the other 15 stars’ fortunes are little changed from a year ago.”

 

Rihanna saw a 30% drop on the list this year, Forbes reports, due to flat sales at Fenty Beauty and her lingerie brand, Savage X Fenty.

 

Changes in the beauty market also spelled a bit of trouble for Kylie Jenner, who saw a 4% decline in net worth.

 

Other stars maintained their earnings, including Kardashian, Witherspoon, Dolly Parton, Ellen DeGeneres and Madonna.

Beyoncé, Celine Dion, Katy Perry, Serena Williams and Barbra Streisand experienced modest increases.

 

According to Forbes, Taylor Swift is the only star on the list to have significantly increased her net worth. Due to the mega-success of her Eras Tour and related projects, her net worth is estimated at $1.6 billion, a 23% increase. (Her recent acquisition of her music catalog was not factored in, and could make that valuation even larger.)
