MEG WHITMAN, NET WORTH—$3.6 BILLION

American business executive and philanthropist Meg Whitman has had the opportunity to work for so many high-profile companies in the past, including eBay, The Walt Disney Company, Hewlett-Packard, and Hasbro. During her reign as the CEO of eBay, the company grew to an estimated 15,000 employees and $8 billion in annual revenue. In November 2007, Whitman resigned as the CEO of eBay but remained on the board and served as an advisor to the new CEO, John Donahoe, until late 2008.

She was then inducted in 2008 into the US Business Hall of Fame. Indeed, she’s been christened by Forbes as the fourth richest self-made woman in the United States. It is of no surprise then that she was able to amass so much money throughout the course of her career. Whitman is also reportedly always on the look-out for good investments, as evidenced by her decision to invest in LA-based e-sports company Immortals LLC last 2018.
