When you look at the list of the richest people in the world, it tends to be male-dominated. In fact, the 10 richest people in the world are all men, but there are plenty of women who are still in the top 100. Out of those women, there are five that truly stand out as being the wealthiest, and here are their details.

Miriam Adelson

Born Miriam Farbstein on October 10, 1945, in Tel Aviv, Miriam Adelson grew up in the city that her parents fled to from Poland during the beginning of World War II and the Holocaust. Adelson became a doctor and married fellow doctor Ariel Ochshorn. After the couple divorced in 1980, she made her way to New York City where she continued her studies. It was at this time that she met Sheldon Adelson.

Sheldon Adelson was a Boston-born businessman who made most of his money in Las Vegas as he founded the Las Vegas Sands Corporation. He also owned the Las Vegas Review-Journal prior to his death in 2021. The couple had just celebrated 20 years of marriage at the time of his death, and she inherited the businesses that her husband owned. This launched her into fifth place of richest women in the world with a net worth of over $38 billion.

Julia Koch

Julia Koch was already doing well for herself long before she had begun a relationship with one of the richest men in the world. Her parents operated a clothing store in Arkansas and after she graduated from college, she moved to New York City where she worked in the fashion industry as both a model and a fashion designer. Born as Julia Flesher, she had rubbed elbows with higher-ups, including former First Lady Nancy Reagan.

In 1991, she met David Koch, and though the two didn’t get along that great in the first meeting, they ended up dating in the same year and the couple married in 1996. David had been the Vice President of Koch Industries, joining the family company in 1970. With a revenue of over $125 billion, Koch Industries is a massive conglomerate. David owned 42 percent of the business, and upon his passing in 2019, Julia Koch took his place in the business and amassed a net worth of over $46 billion.

MacKenzie Scott

MacKenzie Scott had wanted to be a writer while she was growing up and displayed her skills in high school so well that she was able to get accepted into the prestigious Princeton University. In 1992, Scott obtained her bachelor’s degree and, like the previous two women on the list, moved to New York City. It was there that she met Jeff Bezos, and the two worked in finance before moving to Seattle.

Scott was instrumental in starting Amazon alongside Bezos after the two got married in 1993 but was less of a figurehead as she wanted to raise a family and focus on writing during the mid-1990s. Scott reemerged in the public eye in 2019 when it was announced that she and Bezos had filed for divorce after 26 years of marriage. The divorce settlement instantly made her one of the richest people in the world with a net worth of over $50 billion.

Alice Walton

The top two richest women in the world were born into extremely wealthy families, with the first being Alice Walton, who was born in Newport, Arkansas on October 7, 1949. Walton is the only daughter of the late Sam and Helen Walton, the founders of Walmart. Along with brothers Rob, John, and Jim, Alice Walton inherited a massive fortune when her father passed away in April 1992.

During her career, Walton hasn’t been too involved in the operations of Walmart or Sam’s Club, but she has kept very busy. Walton founded her own investment company in 1988 that lasted for a decade before shuttering. She’s also been an avid art collector and has been involved in healthcare and plenty of philanthropy. With a net worth of over $60 billion, she’s the second-richest woman in the world.

Françoise Bettencourt Meyers

With a net worth of over $70 billion, Francoise Bettencourt Meyers takes the mantle of the world’s richest woman. Meyers is the only child of Liliane Bettencourt, who was the only child of Eugene Schueller. Schueller was the founder of L’Oreal, a personal care company that started in 1909 and now has assets of well over $40 billion. With the line of succession, Meyers became the richest woman in 2017 after Liliane Bettencourt’s passing.

The reason that the assets of L’Oreal are so much lower than Meyers’s net worth is that she also inherited a vast fortune from her family’s investments in the process. She still owns one-third of the company, and her net worth has only risen over the years to put her well ahead of any woman and nearly into the top 10 overall.

When we watch our favorite stand-up comedians either on our screens or in person, we typically expect to laugh until our sides hurt. However, not everything is just one punchline after another with a lot of comedians. There are some genuine life lessons that we can learn either about ourselves or society as a whole. From talking about the world’s economic state to mental health, comedians haven’t been afraid to let their voices be heard.

Let’s take a look at some of those life lessons that we’ve learned from stand-up comedians over the years that we may not have given too much thought to at first. Once you go back and watch some of these sets, you might have a higher appreciation for just how in-depth comedy can truly be.

Robin Williams on Being Yourself

Most of us go through life afraid to express our true selves to the world. We all feel this need to conform so that people will like us, give us better job opportunities, or just blend in with the general public. Deep down, there’s that little part of us that wants to let loose and be zany without any regard for how those around us feel about it. Nobody was better at embracing that part of themselves quite like Robin Williams.

The stand-up comedian who would go on to become an acting icon thanks to movies including “Mrs. Doubtfire”, “Good Will Hunting”, and “Good Morning, Vietnam” had this to say about being yourself: “You’ve got to be crazy, it’s too late to be sane. You’re only given a little spark of madness, and if you lose that, you’re nothing. Don’t. From me to you, don’t ever lose that because it keeps you alive…That’s my only love: crazy.” 

George Carlin on Wealth Inequality

George Carlin was well known for some of his acting roles in films including “Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventures”, “Dogma”, and “Cars”, but it was through stand-up comedy that he really shined. Early on in his career, Carlin wasn’t really part of the counter-culture, but during the 1970s and 1980s, he became a go-to for political commentary. This was especially true when it came to wealth inequality and how lower-income people are being held down.

“There’s a reason education sucks, and it’s the same reason that it will never, ever, ever be fixed,” Carlin said. “It’s never gonna get any better. Don’t look for it. Be happy with what you got, because the owners of this country don’t want that. I’m talking about the real owners now…the big wealthy business interests that control things and make all the important decisions…They’ll get it all from you soon or later ‘cause they own this (expletive) place. It’s a big club, and you ain’t in it.”

Bo Burnham on Mental Health

When YouTube got kicked off in the mid-2000s, it presented an opportunity for otherwise unknown people to capture overnight fame. One of those people that cashed in during the early days of YouTube was Bo Burnham, who has gone on to become one of the biggest names in comedy. Burnham got into fame at a young age, and it wasn’t always an easy transition to go from a famous teen to an adult that’s constantly asked what his next project is going to be.

During his special “Inside”, Burnham prefaced a song by saying that he quit performing live comedy because he was having on-stage panic attacks. “Which is not a great place to have them,” he said. “So I quit. And I didn’t perform for five years, and I spent that time trying to improve myself mentally. And you know what? I did. I got better.” 

Craig Ferguson on Self-Reflection

Scottish comedian Craig Ferguson got a big opportunity in the United States during the 1990s when he became part of the cast of the hit series “The Drew Carey Show”. After the show’s conclusion in 2004, Ferguson was tabbed to host “The Late Late Show” on CBS which followed David Letterman’s program. Throughout his time, Ferguson has talked about his alcohol use, divorces, and has done a lot of self-reflecting in his stand-up sets.

Many admire Ferguson because of how he’s grown as a person and has truly shown his desire to help others. In one of the more prominent examples, Ferguson has said that people need to do more self-reflection in the era of smartphones in which we live. “People have always been a**holes,” Ferguson said. “What happens is the technology is just faster…ask yourself before you say anything, which is ‘Does this need to be said? Does this need to be said by me? Does this need to be said by me now?’…Three f***ing marriages it took me to learn that.”

Richard Pryor on Thinking

Richard Pryor is frequently ranked among the best stand-up comedians in history and had many profound quotes during his sets. It’s hard to narrow it down to just one.

A quote that really stands out, though, is “I believe the ability to think is blessed. If you can think about a situation, you can deal with it. The big struggle is to keep your head clear enough to think.” It wasn’t always easy for a guy like Pryor, who was a megastar during his peak. 

One of the more common hobbies that you’ll find worldwide is the daily crossword puzzle.

While Clinton didn’t receive much downtime while being the leader of the free world, he did spend much of that free time filling out crossword puzzles.

“Half the time I do these things just to see what people are thinking about,” Clinton said, hoping that crosswords would keep his finger on the pulse of society. “Sometimes you have to go at a problem the way I go at a complicated crossword puzzle,” he added. “You start with what you know the answer to, and then you build on it. A lot of complex problems are like that.” Clinton has even authored crossword puzzles over the years for the New York Times, perhaps the most well-known publication crossword puzzle.

After becoming a more avid crossword player, Loeb was tabbed to help create a puzzle for the New York Times and said that making the puzzle was a lot like writing a song. “When you collaborate, you have certain ideas which are the structure, like the ‘posts’ of the house that keep it all together…but then just the laughter and the joking and the side conversation that you have when you’re coming up with ideas and what’s important to you…it felt like writing a song.”
