Laurene Powell – Businesswoman, $20.2 Billion Net Worth

The founder and president of ‘Emerson Collective,’ a social change organization, Laurene Powell, is perhaps among the world’s wealthiest philanthropic businesswomen. Widow of the late tech magnate Steve Jobs, the astute entrepreneur inherited billions of dollars worth of stock in ‘Apple’ and ‘Disney’ at her husband’s untimely passing.

But if you think Laurene has landed herself more wealth than she can handle, think again! Not only has the brilliant young lady made inspired decisions that have increased her fortune, but she also balances her expenses with her charity work, giving away millions of dollars to worthy causes annually.
