I was browsing Forbes richest list, and noticed how few women are on it. But in delving deeper, the women that are on it almost all inherited their money from parents or a dead spouse. So why are women so much less inventive?
have you seen the male law makers on tv making the decisions about women and what they can/can't do with their own body's?
there's your answer.
there are plenty of rich woman out there but the Forbes list is a whole different caliber of financial success.
I get that there are a ton of very wealthy women, but why not on the highest echelon? Why no Michelle Dell, or Willamina Gates, or Warrenia Buffett. Most of the uber wealthy created a new area of the market. Why haven't any women done that? When I scanned the list Oprah was one of the wealthiest women that actually made her own money.

Ouch...Classic but look out LW might put something not so good in your sandwich...lolNext time you're stomach's growling and you need a sandwich who makes that?
Next time you're you're my dishwasher....?
Now look through those and find the ones that made it themselves. Almost all are inherited from dead parents or Husbands.
lol. jeeze i didn't know housework made guys have convulsions. it says "next time you're loading your dishwasher..."
not almost all but a lot. i think it's sad that a lot of men made all that money and oops they are dead and the wife gets to spend it. these are men that kept their money. hoarding occurs more often among men. the self made women billionaires are self made... and women give more of their money away than men do, almost 100% more.

this might be part of the reason. women solely focused on careers still are thought of as not having a full life. i don't think men are ever thought of that way. Tory Burch Says There's Always A Stigma Attached To Ambitious Women
in considering rich women i think you can't just say almost all and mean just the Forbes list. a lot of people that never make any of their lists are still filthy wonderfully rich.
not sure i buy the whole disenfranchisement. leaning more toward the human nature explanation. what about you? it's cliche but true that no matter what a woman is achieving her mom's asking, "so when are you gonna get married.... have children?"

Why So Few Self-Made Billionaire Women? - Forbes
There are 1,011 billionaires in the world. Men account for 665 of self-made fortunes (as opposed to inheritance). In stark contrast, only 14 women on this year?s Forbes World Billionaires list have amassed a personal fortune of their own.
i hate to think it's as simple as men want to be billionaires and women want to marry billionaires but that just might be.
Nope. Married with kids.
I get there are fewer women in higher jobs and so forth, but why are there none that have invented anything, or started major companies, at least in comparison to men.
25% more women graduate from college than men. Why do they start fewer mega-successful businesses and why are there so few on the Forbes list that made money themselves?

Men are given some incentives that a lot of women don't get. For example, if a man isn't financially successful, he's far less likely to find a mate. For women that pressure didn't exist at all for centuries.
So why are women so much less inventive?
