List is unsurprisingly a joke full of divorcees, inherited businesses or sleezy paths to fame.

Most actual self-made women are typically in womens fashion and/or cosmetics.

Co-founded and inherited are two very different things. I’m ok including co-founded for self-made. Inherited or passed to is not.

Judy Faulkner is self made. Started EPIC in a basement. Now you could argue it’s very close to monopolizing EMRs for health systems.

I legitimately don't know about any of these people, But I worked for a very successful business where the "owner" had the business 100% in his wife's name so that it was a "female owned business" and therefore the business would qualify easier for contracts. I am sure that there is a lot of that going on out there.

No, her dad is a financial advisor. He is nothing special. She was in the 1% growing up, but not buying record labels level of wealth.

Why isn't Mackenzie Scott Bezos on this list?

She at least founded Amazon with Jeff Bezos.

Forbes definition of self-made leaves a little to be desired.

What is much sadder in my opinion is that if you ran this list in happiness, I bet these folks would rank in the bottom.

The Resnick family in California are a bunch of corrupt assholes

Check into how they are handling their massive privately-owned water reserves in California
