Sara Blakely, 48 — Est. $1.1B
A real boss woman, Sara Blakely is the founder of Spanx, an intimate apparel brand. Blakely revealed her innovative shapewear in 1998. Since inception, Sara’s company has been at the forefront of solving women’s’ wardrobe issues globally. Spanx designs underwear, leggings, and other intimate clothing. Starting out with only $5K, Blakely was forced to write her own patent because she could not afford to pay an attorney to do the job.
