The world's richest women are Chinese. Oprah did not make the list shocking some people, but I wasn't surprised. The richest woman in the world is a self-made billionaire of a paper recycled company. (MSN) Zhang Yin, 53, has a net-worth of 5.6 billion. That is a lot of money. So where does Oprah land on this list? She ranks 9th with $2.3 billion.(CNBC) WOW, I wonder what these women do with their money. I'm in debt 20k and struggling to make ends meet every month. My debt must be like a $5.00 bill for them! That is a lot of personal fortune! To be honest, I'm not surprised Oprah Winfrey is in the top 10. She is pretty wealthy in the U.S.

I would be happy if i'll get just even a tad of that. Why are these people keep on getting richer or accumulating more money that they could spend? can they bring it with them when they die? certainly not.
