From Rihanna and Celine Dion to Safra Catz, here are the most successful immigrants on America's richest SelfMadeWomen list: by DenizCam
Forbes
’ 2019 list of America’s Richest Self-Made Women, which altogether features 80 women. Two other newcomers to the list were born outside the U.S. as well: Ashley Chen of Taiwan and Neha Narkhede of India. The women immigrants hail from around the globe, from Canada to South Korea, from 14 different countries on four continents; nine moved here from an Asian country. Together this cohort of immigrants, which make up nearly one-fourth of the women in the self-made ranks, is worth an estimated $18.
Thai Lee, who is the most successful woman immigrant in the country, has lived that dream, working very hard along the way. Lee, who was born in Bangkok, grew up in South Korea but moved to the U.S., where she and her older sister lived with a family friend and attended high school in Amherst, Massachusetts. Lee later attended Amherst College to study economics and biology, and received her M.B.A. from Harvard Business School in 1985. She went on to work at U.S.
