There were 328 women listed on the world's billionaires as of 17 March 2021, up from 241 in March 2020.[1] Since 2021, Francoise Bettencourt Meyers is listed as the world's wealthiest woman.

According to a 2021 billionaire census, women make up 11.9% of the billionaire cohort, and "just over half of all female billionaires are heiresses, with an additional 30% having a combination of inherited and created wealth." In the overall female billionaire cohort, 16.9% of billionaires are "self-made" and 53.5% gained their wealth through a combination of inheritance and "self-made" wealth as of 2017.[2]
