Observant of the trend for Europeans to show keen interest in all things green, Financial Times has just introduced us to a world-scale female Tree Hugging entrepreneur, Ms. Zhang Yin, who is described as "worth an estimated $3.4bn." Remarkably, Ms. Zhang, after starting up Nine Dragons Paper just a few years ago, has become "the world's richest self-made woman, surpassing US talk show host Oprah Winfrey and J.K. Rowling, the Harry Potter author.

Here is an answer from Yahoo Answers in August, 2005:
Dear Yahoo!:
Who is the richest woman in the world?
John
Dear John:
According to the most recent Forbes magazine ranking, two women currently share the title, and they're related. Alice Walton (56), daughter of Wal-Mart founder Sam Walton, is worth roughly 18 billion bucks. Alice lives in Texas, where she raises horses.
Helen Walton (85), the widow of Sam, is also good for lunch, with an estimated net worth of $18 billion. She currently resides in Bentonville, Arkansas, where she sponsors a preschool.
Liliane Bettencourt (82), the daughter of L'Oréal founder Eugene Schueller, is the next lady on the list, with approximately 17.2 billion. She lives in France, where she awards a science prize every year.
Nine of the world's fifty richest people are women. The richest self-made woman in the world is Rosalia Mera (61) of Spain, who is worth approximately $2 billion. She started off making gowns and lingerie in her home. Her business eventually grew into the apparel manufacturer Inditex, which sold $6 billion worth of clothes last year.

Oprah Winfrey recently topped Forbes "Richest Women" list. JK Rowling was second on that list. I don't know about the rest though.
