Who’s the Richest Woman in the World Right Now

Hey everyone,

I was chatting with friends about billionaires and got curious—who’s currently the richest woman in the world? I know it can change, but I’d love to know who’s holding the top spot at the moment and how she got there.

The world of billionaires is always shifting, but I believe Françoise Bettencourt Meyers currently holds the title of the richest woman. Her family owns a significant portion of L’Oréal, a leading cosmetics company.

I hadn’t heard of that name before. So, it’s essentially inherited wealth rather than self-made? It’s incredible how these family fortunes can endure for generations.

I believe it’s one of the L’Oreal heiresses, possibly someone named Bettencourt. They’ve been among the wealthiest for quite some time.
