for those who didn't get the point of this list, here's the methodology:

To compile net worths, we valued individuals’ assets, including the value of stakes in public companies, on May 15, when we locked in stock prices. We valued private companies by speaking with an array of outside experts and conservatively comparing them with public competitors. To be eligible for this list, women had to have substantially made their own fortunes and be U.S. citizens or permanent residents. In cases where they started businesses with, and still share with, their husbands, we’ve assigned them half of that combined wealth. We attempted to vet these numbers with all list entrants. Some cooperated; others didn’t. Think we missed someone? Email us at [email protected] and we’ll investigate.

I've always wondered how websites like Forbes can estimate these artists expenses, outgoings, liabilities etc.
I mean earnings are somewhat public with tour gross, record sales and endorsements, but their expenses are basically all private.
