Start SlideshowThe female entrepreneurial class in the U.S. doesn’t command headlines the way their male counterparts often do, but a new report from Forbes shows that the richest self-made women in the country haven’t done badly for themselves. To compile the women’s net worth, Forbes valued individual assets, including stakes in public companies using stock prices from May 12. To be eligible for the list, women had to have substantially made their own fortunes in the U.S. and/or be U.S. citizens or permanent residents. To measure just how far some have come, Forbes gave women a self-made score of 6 (hired hand) to 10 (rags-to-riches entrepreneur).
