Forbes has released its 2025 list of America’s Richest Women Celebrities, highlighting the remarkable financial success of women in the entertainment industry despite economic challenges. Leading the pack is Oprah Winfrey, who boasts a net worth of $3.1 billion. Winfrey’s wealth continues to grow thanks to her various ventures, including projects with Netflix, real estate investments, and other business pursuits, even though her iconic talk show ended over fifteen years ago.
In the second position, Kim Kardashian has solidified her status as a business mogul with a net worth of $1.7 billion, largely attributed to her successful shapewear line, Skims, and her skincare brand, SKKN by Kim. Kardashian’s strategic collaborations, including a recent partnership with Nike, have further enhanced her financial portfolio.
Taylor Swift ranks third with a net worth of $1.6 billion, having experienced a remarkable increase of $300 million over the past year. The astronomical success of her Eras Tour, which grossed around $2 billion, along with her innovative ways of monetizing her music through films, books, and re-recorded albums, have all contributed to her financial ascent.
Rihanna, in fourth place, holds a net worth of $1 billion, although she faced a $400 million decline last year due to challenges with her beauty brand, Fenty Beauty, and lingerie line, Savage X Fenty. Following her, Beyoncé Knowles-Carter takes the fifth spot with a net worth of $780 million, boosted by the success of her Renaissance tour, which saw a 4% increase in her wealth.
The list also includes other entrepreneurial figures, such as Selena Gomez with a net worth of $700 million and Kylie Jenner at $670 million, both of whom have thrived through their cosmetics businesses.
This annual ranking underscores the incredible efforts and ingenuity these women demonstrate in both their artistic and business endeavors, reflecting a broader trend of female empowerment and success in various industries.
