We all know they have money, but just how much do they really have? Here is a list of the richest women in show business:
This one is a no brainer, but how much does the reigning queen of daytime television really have? Well, there is the 42 acre, $50 million dollar house in California, adjoining condo units in Atlanta (worth $1.5 million), Maui waterfront property worth $13 million, a Greenwich, Connecticut house worth $3.6 million (do you hate Oprah yet?), a $6 million dollar co-op in Chicago and a $1.5 million getaway in Aspen. She eats off expensive French china and sleeps on a $2,500 set of sheets. Oprah’s estimated wealth – $1.5 billion.
Not a bad haul for a woman who was formerly a homeless, single mom. Harry Potter and all the merchandising that goes with that character have netted J.K. quite a nice nest egg. She now has a home, three in fact – a seven-bedroom house along the River Tay in Scotland, a mansion in Edinburgh, and a $10 million dollar Georgian house in London. J.K.’s estimated wealth – $1 billion.
Jail certainly didn’t derail this domestic queen. She still has her television show, magazine, books, housewares, and a satellite radio show bringing in the dough. Martha’s estimated wealth – $638 million.
Would you expect anything less from a woman nicknamed “The Material Girl?” She loves to collect art, including Mexican artist Frida Kahlo, Picasso, and Dali. She also loves jewels – she owns a $200,000 tiara once owned by Princess Grace. Madonna’s estimated wealth – $325 million.
Celine Dion
The five-year Las Vegas gig certainly helped pile more money on top of her already impressive stack (which she got from selling over 150 million albums). Each year she hosts a million dollar Christmas party for family. Celine’s estimated wealth – $250 million.
That is only the top five – what about the poor women that finish out the top 15?
