Taylor Swift, Oprah and Kim Kardashian are among the richest self-made women in America, according to a list released by Forbes Thursday.

Kardashian, 42, secured the 21st spot with a net worth of $1.2 billion. "The Kardashians" star co-owns the SKIMS shapewear brand, which is valued at $3.2 billion.
