FX.co ★ Top 5 richest women in United States in 2022

Julia Koch

The first place in the ranking of the richest women in the United States goes to Julia Koch, the widow of David Koch, the founder of Koch Industries. It is worth recalling that this corporation is engaged in investments, as well as oil refining and industrial production (chemical products, building materials, fabrics, etc.). Against the backdrop of rising oil prices in 2022, Koch Industries' revenue increased from the previous $115 to $125 billion. Julia Koch's personal fortune is estimated at $56 billion this year, compared to $51 billion in 2021.

Alice Walton ($55.7 billion)

The second place among the richest women in America goes to Alice Walton, the heiress of the Walmart fortune. Last year, due to a sharp drop in the company's shares, this businesswoman lost $12.2 billion. At the same time, Forbes USA revised down its estimate of her stake in the family trust. As of this year, Alice Walton's net worth is estimated at $55.7 billion.

Mackenzie Scott ($37.7 billion)

Mackenzie Scott, the ex-wife of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, ranks third on the list of the most successful female entrepreneurs in the United States. However, last year the businesswoman's fortune decreased by $20.8 billion due to a significant decline in Amazon shares, which are the main source of her income. In addition, the increase in charitable contributions also affected the financial condition of the philanthropist. For reference, Mackenzie Scott has been donating to charity in a number of ways for a long time.

Jacqueline Mars ($37 billion)

The fourth place ranking goes to Jacqueline Mars. She owes her fortune to the steady growth in sales of popular sweets such as Mars, for example, as well as animal feed. Jacqueline Mars is the heiress of the American candy company Mars, Incorporated. Over the past year, her fortune increased by $5.2 billion, reaching $37 billion.

Over the past year, her fortune has decreased by $ 4 billion and is now estimated at $ 26.4 billion.
