Yes, there is a big shortage of women on this list. But Oprah's first place is well deserved. This woman is a media mogul. Her assets include O, the Oprah Magazine, her own OWN channel, and a television show under her name.
She is the first and only black woman billionaire in history. Britney earned her fortune thanks to the scent of Elizabeth Arden, live performances and music albums.
By the way, Tom Cruise is the only star from the cast. He won the honorable 13th place thanks to the success of the movie "Mission Impossible - Secret Protocol".
