It was a record-breaking year for these queens of capitalism, as their combined fortunes soared by nearly one-fourth to $154 billion and the minimum to make the list jumped more than 35%. <br/><br/>The country’s most successful women have found dozens of ways to prosper.

The minimum to qualify rose to $300 million, up from $225 million last year, the highest since Forbes started tracking the top 100 in 2020. Seventy-three members are richer than they were in 2023, while just ten saw their fortunes fall. <br/><br/>Read the full story on Forbes: https://www.forbes.com/sites/kerryadolan/2024/05/28/a-record-year-for-americas-richest-self-made-women-2024/?sh=6461d697ef63<br/><br/>Subscribe to FORBES: https://www.youtube.com/user/Forbes?sub_confirmation=1<br/><br/>Fuel your success with Forbes.

_troll-says-my-5ft-5in-husband-looks-like-my-son-but-we-couldnt-be-more-in-love.webp "A 5ft 10ins woman who towers over her short husband says trolls say he looks like her son but they couldn’t be more in love.<br/><br/>Cassandra Gaspard, 29, and her partner, Westin, 32, are constantly stared at due to their height difference.<br/><br/>Cassandra is five inches taller than Westin - who is 5ft 5ins - and is asked why she is with her husband by strangers.<br/><br/>But the couple couldn’t be happier, after tying the knot last month, and have never seen their height difference as a problem.<br/><br/>Westin, a technical account manager, from New York City, US, said: “In real life people don’t come up to me. They come up to my wife.<br/><br/>“They said ‘how can you be with him? He’s so short.'<br/><br/>“People stare at us – it happens a lot.<br/><br/>“Trolls say I look like her handbag or I’m her son. They are trying to be funny.”<br/><br/>Cassandra, who works in customer care, said: “It’s a little odd that people look at height difference and think we don’t deserve to be in a relationship.<br/><br/>“It’s not the norm – society thinks 6ft men need to be with shorter men.<br/><br/>“You love who you love.”<br/><br/>Casandra had embraced her height by the time she met Westin on Tinder in 2017 – and even wore five inch heels on their first date.<br/><br/>She said: “I grew up taller than everybody. I was the odd ball out.<br/><br/>“I accepted in my 20s that I couldn’t change.<br/><br/>“Now I’m mostly in heels.”<br/><br/>Westin had never had any issues with his height or dating girls taller than him.<br/><br/>He said: “My height is what it is. I can’t stretch myself.<br/><br/>“I always carried myself in a confident way.<br/><br/>“When I met my wife I said ‘you’re tall and there is nothing you can do about it. And I’m small and there is nothing I can do about it’.<br/><br/>“We never cared about it.<br/><br/>“It’s a blessing. If something is up on a shelf and I can’t get it. Guess who I’m calling? My wife.”<br/><br/>Despite their confidence, the couple did have to adjust to the constant stares and comments.<br/><br/>Cassandra said: “I remember the very first time someone said something.<br/><br/>“These two or three older men were looking at us.<br/><br/>“They said ‘she’s really tall, he’s really short – I can’t believe it’.”<br/><br/>Westin says he also gets comments asking if he has 'short man syndrome'.<br/><br/>He said: “Someone said 'I hope he doesn’t have a temper'.<br/><br/>“Short men get a bad rep and they think I have short man syndrome.<br/><br/>“People could be missing out on a life partner because of all these preconceived notions.<br/><br/>“It’s silly stuff like women can’t be with a man shorter than her. They want someone to look up to and protect them.<br/><br/>“I’m a boxer – I can protect my wife.<br/><br/>“It doesn’t have anything to do with my height.”<br/><br/>Cassandra added: “There are tall women married to short men.<br/><br/>“It’s not like OMG I just found a rare coin.”<br/><br/>Westin said: “Love is love no matter what.”")
