Opprah Winfrey : Wanita Kaya Dunia Bermodal "Dengkul"

This is a big year for talk show queen Oprah Winfrey who announced it would end his talk show this season. Oprah will launch its own television network featuring top celebrities such as Rosie O'Donnell, Julia Roberts, Sarah Ferguson, and Gayle King.

In the midst of plans to end his talk show, Oprah's wealth would increasingly accumulate. Forbes Magazine, Monday, October 25, 2010, stated in the past year Oprah receive revenues of U.S. $ 315 million and U.S. $ 1.35 billion in the last five years.
Oprah's wealth Forbes estimates is worth U.S. $ 2.7 billion, up U.S. $ 400 million from last year. No wonder if Oprah became one of the 42 women included in the list of world's 400 richest people.

Indeed, Oprah is ranked 15th among American women, but he was rich by building a capital "knee". Achieving that is difficult because only four of 42 women, or 1 percent of the world's 400 richest people.

Term capital "knee" is often used for business or business practitioners who start a business from scratch. Not the family legacy business.

The three other women who pioneered the business with a capital "knee" is the owner of the Gap Doris Fisher, owner of ABC Supply Diane Hendricks, and eBay founder Meg Whitman. Diane Hendricks was originally started the business with her husband, but her husband died before they succeed.

The rest, 38 of the world's richest woman is the heir of the family business empires. Family giant retailer Wal-Mart for example, could produce four of the world's richest women, one of which Christy Walton.

Wife of John Walton, who died in a plane crash in 2005 is the richest woman with a net worth of $ 24 billion (Rp216 trillion). He was ranked the world's fourth-richest man after Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, and Larry Ellison
