Billionaires List from Forbes

It really irks me that in our supposedly post-feminist world, in the list of top 20 richest people in the world, only one is a woman. And she didn't even make her own money- she inherited the L'oreal fortune. I mean sure Oprah is a multi-billionaire but she still can't make top 20.



I do take some comfort in the fact that they're not all old white guys, at least. And the list itself is interesting. Here are a couple that surprised me:
  • Ikea founder is 4th richest
  • the self-made founder of Zara is 8th richest
  • the H&M guy is #17 (but he actually inherited the business from his father, so I count him as "cheater")
Really? Zara nets more than H&M?
