105 Billion makes Jeff Bezos (Amazon) the richest man in the world right now. Who is the richest woman?

It used to be Alice Walton of Walmart fame. She is worth $37.7 Billion.  She has been eclipsed by Francoise Bettencourt Meyers, worth $42 Billion. Her mom was L'Oreal heiress Liliane Bettencourt who died. That's pretty wealthy by anyone's standards. At this rate when can we expect to see our first TRILLIONAIRE and what career/ field of endeavor d'ya think he/she will represent?

    Wow 5 in a row of your questions interested me enough to answer.  (Which is a comment about me, not you.)

    I'm going to guess it's MacKenzie S. Bezos---an American novelist and wife of Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon.com.

    In her own right tom? I mean Melinda Gates is wealthy too but it's Bill who did all the earning. Without Bill what would she have been worth? So without Jeff what would MacKenzie have been worth? Of course we cannot know the answers to those questions.  Thank you for your reply.
