As a company focused on finance and financial literacy, we want to shine a light on a specific group that we don't feel is represented enough in modern media ? rich and successful women.
In this blog, we want to tell you about the five richest women in the world in 2022.
- Francoise Bettencourt Meyers - Estimated Net Worth: £82.5 billion - As the heiress to the L'Oreal cosmetics empire started by her grandfather in 1909, Bettencourt Meyers is 2022's richest woman. She inherited the company from her mother, who passed away in 2017, and currently serves as chairwoman of L'Oreal's holding company.
- Alice Walton - Estimated Net Worth: £66 billion - The daughter of Wal-Mart founder Sam Walton, Alice is the second richest woman in the world. She has a B.A. in Economics from Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas and was a former member of the board of trustees for the Amon Carter Museum in Fort Worth, Texas.
- MacKenzie Scott - Estimated Net Worth: £53 billion - Ms. Scott is the ex-wife of Amazon boss Jeff Bezos and the third wealthiest woman in the world. She is also a novelist and philanthropist. Most of her wealth came from the division of stock assets in her divorce from Bezos.
- Julia Koch - Estimated Net Worth: £46.4 billion - Julia Koch is an heiress to the fortune of her husband David, who passed away in 2019. David's wealth was a result of inheriting his family's business, Koch Industries, from which Julia inherited a reported 42% stake upon his death.

Each of these women had different journeys to their present-day wealth, but they all started young with their journey from financial literacy to financial prosperity. We want to encourage any women to do the same by joining our community program. We take you on a financial literacy journey appropriate for women from 18 years old, where they learn everything from how to save and budget money to how to trade stocks, manage risk and analyse financial trends.
We hope you consider signing up for our Community program today as we believe that doing so is the first step to putting yourself on a similar path as all the wonderful women we highlighted in this blog and gearing them up for long-term financial success.
