The newcomers range in age from 32 to 75 and hail from 7 states. All are worth at least $225 million, the cutoff to make this year’s ranking.

Jacqueline Reses and Alyssa Henry both amassed their wealth through stakes in electronic payments company Square, which provides tools for small businesses by facilitating online and electronic payments. Rachel Carlson built her estimated $500 million fortune through Guild Education, which helps companies offer competitive education benefits to frontline employees.

Other newcomers were surprise successes, building their fortunes in industries that were hit particularly hard over the past year. Caryn Seidman-Becker got rich after buying a company out of bankruptcy and creating Clear Secure, the biometric security service used in airport security checkpoints and stadiums.
