That’s up from 24 last year, and sets a new record. These trailblazers, who were born as far away as Burma and India, are worth a combined $56 billion.
Another woman who rose from humble beginnings, Oprah Winfrey was born to a single teenage mother who worked as a housemaid. The Mississippi native endured sexual abuse as a child and was once sent to a juvenile detention home, but later earned a scholarship to Tennessee State University and then dropped out to start a career as a local TV reporter. She hit it big with her daytime talk show in the late 1980s.

Lee bought a software reseller with her now ex-husband for less than $1 million in 1989 and turned it into SHI, a $10 billion IT provider.
