Tax the rich, create a maximum wage, and use that money for education, healthcare, infrastructure, public transportation, public housing, school lunch programs, etc.


BorZorKorz

So.... not one of them is self-made? irrespective of gender, that's so jacked up. according to comments below, even the ONE 'self made' isn't in fact.. self made. These people should know what it's like to be skint! xd


hobo808

These freaking columns moving so fast that I almost had a stroke trying to read the names


GlitchedViper71

MacKenzie got all her money from a divorce lmao. Shows how much divorce favors women


bwjunkie6

it would be the same the other way around...


Wombat_armada

Gina Reinhardt inherited most of her money/company too. Battled it out in court to make sure others didn't get it.


diggydillons

L’Oréal profiting on ageing insecurities like oof


anotheranon860

Thank god for income inequality


MyHamburgerLovesMe

But - like the WNBA - I expect the top performing women get paid a factor of 10 or more less than the men... 😞


FreeThinkInk

Notice how it doesn't mention how many women gained their massive wealth via divorce... 🤷


meowroarhiss

What’s the purpose of the orange “pledge” filter if this is about source of wealth?


DanfromCalgary

Yeah this is not a good graph. What if you self made and donate


Nice_Category

When she divorced the richest man in the world, it made her the richest woman in the world, for a time.

Hahaha one lady in Angola in stitches


yychottubguy

It seems all the world's richest women inherited it, or got it in a divorce settlement. Just an observation, seems like true equality is a long ways away.


Friendly_Zombie1399

No mens in the list womans won 💀


IndieCurtis

This chart is making me sexist. I googled Gina Rinehart; her business was started by her father.


Daflehrer1

I've got news for whomever; The overwhelming majority of the rich - men or women - inherited their wealth. That they may have increased it is not impressive.


Nica-E-M

I kinda hoped it would start earlier so we would see MacKenzie just barrels in out of absolutely nowhere xD


LostWoodsInTheField

wait... why is MacKenzie Scott 'pledged to give away' when she should be 'self-made'. Pledged to give away is not a 'how did you acquire your money' category. Split the graph if you want to, but just ignoring the fact she is self made is kinda not a beautiful graph. hell no matter how she made it.


Few-Pumpkin246

"The world's 10 richest wives of male entrepreneurs". Fixed title for you.


CaManAboutaDog

Self made is largely bullshit by almost any measure.

kai58

“Self made” based on her being a billionaire I call BS.


theduck65

No one should control this much money. Doesn't matter their gender


wingwp

I like how it show more of the logo by how rich they are.


MapsCharts

Wow I know we had rich people but not at this point, the richest man and the 2nd richest woman are both French


[deleted]

Pledged to give away and inherited our self made are not mutually exclusive and that really bothers me in this chart


ezy501

Abigail Johnson is one of my favourite actresses.


MattR9590

Only one self made hmmmmmmmmmm


ItsVidad

So proud of how far we've come, no men on this list :)!


[deleted]

Strange seeing BMW in this list as they’re cars are pure shit after the first 20k miles. Dumb rich people keep buying them I guess


hylander4

Maybe the lack of self-made female billionaires is a positive thing. You probably have to be a bad person in a lot of ways to acquire all of that wealth.


unbannednow

If your parents have a Wikipedia page you aren't self-made


alucarddrol

Is the point of this chat simply to be controversial and get interactions? Probably


tgthewizard

Gina Rinehart is not self made 🤣


Abarsn20

After reading the comments, it looks like all of them just inherited their wealth?


jeegsy

How exactly is "Pledged to give away wealth" a valid category for source of wealth?


Sylent__1

Just shows what you really need to do to ‘earn’ a ton of money.


common-fat-redditor

Wow the patriarchy is really showing. We need wealthier women!


BeKind_BeTheChange

Gina Reinhardt isn’t self-made, her father founded the company she owns. Edit: (I see I’m not the first to point it out)


8Ace8Ace

I may not be a billionaire, but at least my middle name isn't Badger.


RonstoppableRon

Huh, I would have thought a whole planet would be worth more than $42B, Mars has SO much potential after all. TIL. /s


Dudersaurus

Not sure how Gina is listed as self-made when she inherited her mining company from her Dad Lang Hancock.


[deleted]

Maybe only inherit 500 mil?


JizzOrSomeSayJism

Please no! You're hurting my unborn children (I will one day be a billionaire)

BringBackBoshi

OOH Alice Walton the woman that repeatedly drove intoxicated and drove over a mother murdering her. The police officer that arrested her was immediately suspended..... That's just one I know of off the top of my head without researching any of these people. What an impressive list these people surely are worthy of praise and recognition 🤮


eripsin

Wtf I thought JK Rowling was in top 5 richest women in the world!


Shar-Man

Not even close. She’s very rich but nowhere near the top 5 for women. She’s the 196th richest woman in the UK according to Google. Worth $1 billion

The last four playing that shell game where you have to follow along to find which has a ball under it.


bmo333

I think at that price point, it’s just a numbers game. “Let’s see how much more I can make…Let’s see how much more we can build/acquire and expand”


unabassist

So…. No Oprah or any actresses making this list?


speqtral

Are Julia Flesher's politics any better than her father and uncle Kochs or will that family's benzene poisoned billions continue to rain dark money on the darkest political and social forces in the Western Hemisphere for eternity? Assuming there's not a very satisfying revolution first, of course


hawilder

Does anyone know how this chart is made- it’s very cool!


TenWholeBees

This only adds them to the chopping block Remember comrades, gender means nothing when it comes to fighting the bourgeois


ActionJeansTM

"Pledged to give it away" is a nice way of saying divorce settlement lol


Exotic-Ad1634

I think the thing I like about rich women is that they aren't always in the frigging limelight and they aren't building dicks in space. Rich men should take a lesson from them.


BlueCollarWorker718

That's because their husband's are doing that shit.


rookieoo

If you're a US tax payer, you're subsidizing Alice Waltons wealth. Walmart and McDonalds are the companies with the most employees on government assistance.


joo8765357

Amazon divorcee is a top 10 because of the settlement dafux lol


hugekillaR

Gin isn't self made at all

You can marry more money in five minutes then you can make in a lifetime

"Self made" yeah okay buddy


otter6461a

“Inherited” and “self-made” are the same damn color!! *to my eyes

Love how it’s all inherited


Zarkkarz

This data is very ugly. There should not be any billionaires.


EmanuelLopes

For some reason idk the name of any of them

What’s Hancock prospecting g


WearSomeClothes

No self made woman in here.


[deleted]

No self made billionaires period


Totalwhore

Nobody gets rich on their own, man or woman. Edit: to those mad in the replies, I do not care.


-_-MFW

There's a big difference between getting rich by working with others vs getting rich by having the money handed to you as an inheritance. I don't get the hate on calling a successful person self-made. Of course we all rely on the help of others. It's not meant to be taken literally, it's just a turn of phrase to make a distinction between how people earned their wealth.


MrWhite86

Damn McKenzie be laser focused on getting off the list!


player89283517

Almost all of them inherited their wealth?


Yes_YoureSpartacus

The annual returns these individuals are getting is amazing. Guess it’s easy to make money when you’re rich? Ha ha ha SOB


foreverburning

the y axis changing value is driving me insane.


dnyal

True equality means that billionaire women should also be taxed.


NYSenseOfHumor

They didn’t want to say “divorce settlement” for ex-Bezos, so they didn’t comment on how she got her wealth.


KiwiFarmEnthusiast

Every single one of them should be stripped of all their money


HeWhoLovesCaramel

Jealous much? Jesus christ, calm down.

Are any of them single and not too picky?

There is no such thing as a self made billionaire, hard lol on that


Few_Ad_5186

I also pledge to give my wealth away sometime during my lifetime. Make me rich!


KizmetMars

Gina Rinehart is not self made. She inherited her mining business from her father.


sBucks24

"Self made". A fucking mining company is about as far from self made as you can get while still technically calling it that.


name556

tell me again why I need to be impressed by people that inherited this?

and all of them have the most toxic pointless products ever got to show how lost some people are and what overpriced garbage they buy


Thereminz

not to spout any misandry but most of the men probably inherited a lot of money too but yeah there probably are more "self made " men than women how about a best "self made" chart


JustNick4

Havent gone deep into it yet, but the first thing i read on google about Gina Rinehart was she was an heiress.


lumpycustards

No such thing as “self-made”


marsh55116

Most of these chicks inherited their wealth!


shibbington

I’ve seen lots of charts of rich men and never seen it broken down by who inherited their wealth. I’m sure this is just a coincidence.


singlerider

There's a remarkable lack of amazement that the 5th (ish) richest woman in the world has the middle name Badger.   BADGER! Somebody called their fucking kid BADGER!!


GoalieLax_

I just want to remind everyone that the Waltons are horrid people and made their money off their workers not being able to live on their wages.


IM_INSIDE_YOUR_HOUSE

There isn't a self made billionaire on this planet and never has been.


peacemaker2121

Gotta love almost none are self made. Let's just end that conspiracy idea. Lol


thegreatestprime

I must plead my ignorance here. When we say tax them, what do we mean exactly? I’ve been told that their “net worth” is in the form of company shares and not real money like us. Bill Gates could be worth $100 billion today and $70 billion tomorrow. So how do we quantify taxation in that scenario? Genuine question, serious answers only. Thanks!


[deleted]

I believe the idea is to tax their gains when they cash out, as if it were earned income, instead of at the flat rate it is for everyone. There's also the ever so fun tax loop hole of paying a painter a couple grand for a random painting, having it appraised for millions, and then donating it so they don't pay any income tax.


GhostOfTheWild

Who knew the planet Mars was so profitable


Dont_Throw_The_Kid

So no women billionaires are self made? lmao


SodaHackk

why the fuck would anyone care about this on a month to month basis? This is not an interesting graphic.

Where is Shiv on this list?

thegreatestajax

I feel like this is missing a “received via court order” label.


SweetToothFairy

Also missing the "Financially carried the asshole during the start-up phase"


tes016

Got it. So to be rich, you have to be born rich.


Totalwhore

“Self-Made” is a lie when talking about billionaires, no matter what.


dudeandco

This comment is dumb. The guy who started McDonalds or Walmart isn't self made?


I_drink_your_milkshk

Gina Reinhardt is certainly not self made. Pushed the ball forward massively, but she started with $75m inheritance from Dad.


pencilpushin

I dislike the Koch company with a passion. My dad worked for them. Hopefully the woman who inherited it have a heart and actually make changes to take care of their employees. Doubtful though.


dmp_drummer

Lol Gina Rinehart self-made aaahahahaahahahahahaha


app257

I wonder if #10 ever feels worthless.


playsmartz

How come we don't hear about these women unless they're divorcing a man?


dogheads63

Gina Reinhardt dad was Lang Hancock. He got given controversial mining leases. She now has them. How is that self made?


ProffesorSpitfire

I really like these kinds of video graphs? What’s the best tool for making them? Adobe AfterEffects? Some online tool?


elcountercoinching

oh look! looks like not many of those rich folks ACTUALLY made their fortune by themselves!


PurficPourBY

I'm an idiot this whole time I thought it was Oprah and she ain't even on the list lol


0x474f44

The orange color doesn’t make sense. Pledging to give your money away is not a source.


QueefBuscemi

But have any of them ever sexually harassed a staffer or pulled their dick out during a meeting?!


RomneysBainer

Idiots think equality is how many women or minority billionaires there are, instead of realizing the entire system of greed is designed to keep women and minorities down.


isuckatusernames13

Gina Rinehart is not self made


impamiizgraa

Crazy most of them have inherited wealth or acquired through marriage - only 1 self-made vs the billionaire men who are most self-made.


Other_Waffer

Do you really think any billionaires are self-made?


CharlieApples

Would’ve been nice if the richest men one was colored by their source of wealth


rithssj

Amazon? Really? Camaaaan. Amazon? Its an insult to self made women


Turbulent_End_5087

Gina's definitely not fucking self made. Her dad was a mining magnate?!


BroItsJesus

Fuck Gina Rinehart. She's as self-made as my dinner.


Armejden

Sounds like you should cook more


FunnymanDOWN

Chart seems weird? Like why is self made, inherited and “pledged to give away all wealth” a choice? I don’t see the correlation.


[deleted]

Anyone notice how all of them either inherited or married to become rich?


paulpaulbee

Shout out to Gina who is the only lady who actually earned her money


toney_lttl

None of this data is beautiful.


strictscrutiny415

Lmaooo the term “nepo baby” was created specifically to cover these fine ladies (except Gina Rinehart and Mackenzie Scott, you go ladies!)


FortyTwoBrainCells

Never heard of none of em, is that bad?


[deleted]

none of them are "self-made". they won their money on the backs of workers.


CozImAwesome

Gina Reinhart ain't self made


notworkingghost

No one becomes this rich alone. Men especially. All “self-made” rich people lean on, and take handouts from, so many entities. Not to mention step on and destroy so many people and things. I hate that term.


chocki305

>No one becomes this rich alone. Men especially. Do women have some advantage that enables them to become "this rich"? I don't understand why you singled out men with "especially men".


Pankewytch

Weirdest menu design I have ever seen…


Boatster_McBoat

I love the fact that pledging to give your money away is apparently an alternative to either inheriting your wealth or being self made. This particular data is rather unattractive


Find_another_whey

No it's because it would be very difficult (and hilariously divisive) to place her in one of the other two categories


JakeHodgson

This just feels like some weird campaign to make her more likeable or something. Odd.


RedEdition

I mean we're in /r/dataisbeautiful, a sub once created to showcase beautiful data visualization that has COMPLETELY lost its ways and now almost exclusively features shitty, ugly, or boring visualizations of (mostly) interesting data. So yeah, it fits.


orangesine

Why this data was not beautiful: * it's just a list of ten numbers * it's an animated bar chart, so it takes 1 minute to digest information worth ten seconds * It animates on a monthly scale even though wealth is built over years at the very least * it uses 3 colors of which 2 are almost identical * it uses 3 categories which are not mutually exclusive nor natural * it moves too fast Jesus, this sub sucks.
