Serena Williams is regarded as the most dominant women’s tennis player ever, Business Insider Alan Dawson wrote. She is a 23-time Grand Slam champion and has earned over $88 million in career prize money. She won her last Grand Slam at the Australian Open in 2017 — while she was pregnant.
Michelle Obama
Since leaving the White House in 2017, former First Lady Michelle Obama released her memoir “Becoming” in December of 2018. The book quickly rose to the top of Amazon’s charts, and currently has sold nearly 10 million copies. According to the Washington Post, the book is on track to become the best-selling memoir of all time.
Ellen DeGeneres
A longtime household name for her eponymous talk show, Ellen DeGeneres enjoyed her most successful year yet after earning $87.6 million in 2018. According to Forbes, DeGeneres ranked No. 15 on a list of last year’s highest-paid entertainers. She returned to stand-up comedy after a 15-year absence and was the first female comedian to strike a $20 million deal with Netflix.
George R.R. Martin
George R.R. Martin went from chess tournament player and journalism professor to best-selling author. In 1996, the first installment of the “Game of Thrones” series was published; 10 years later, the books sold 70 million copies and Martin had a net worth of $15 million.
Donald Trump
President Donald Trump took office in 2017 and has continued to make waves with his presidency ever since. So far he’s helped create 4 million new jobs, implemented new tax reform, and secured $6 billion in new funding to cure the opioid epidemic. Trump “has kept faith with his core supporters,” according to Yuwa Hedrick-Wong of Forbes. His policies and actions have also left the nation — and the world — talking.
Pope Francis
Pope Francis has been credited with modernizing and changing the direction of the Catholic Church, from his views on climate change to divorce. In February, he called church leaders to Rome for a meeting in which he addressed clergy sex abuse, which has been called “a historic move” for the Catholic Church.
Mark Zuckerberg
Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook, has been “regarded as one of the most brilliant minds of his generation,” wrote Business Insider’s Paige Leskin. He created a social network — which he dropped out of Harvard to fully develop — with more monthly active users than any single country in the world has people, Leskin reported. He’s continued to defend the site amid recent controversies.
Jeff Bezos
With a rough net worth of $150 billion, Jeff Bezos is the richest man in the world — and, as Bloomberg put it, the richest man in modern history. In 1994, Bezos founded Amazon.com in a garage. In September 2018, it briefly became the second US company to achieve a valuation of more than $1 trillion.
Bill Gates
Bill Gates hit an estimated net worth of more than $100 billion in March, becoming only the second person in the world with a 12-figure net worth. Gates co-founded Microsoft in 1975, and it became the first software company to generate $1 billion in sales. In 2018, it surpassed Apple as the most valuable public company until Apple took reign again in February.
