According to Forbes, “Of the 100 female moguls on this year’s ranking, 28 made their money working in technology. With a combined net worth of over $37 billion, these pioneers have founded, cofounded or worked at a range of technology-enabled businesses, from dating site Bumble (Whitney Wolfe Herd) to cloud software provider Confluent (Neha Nekarhede). Half of these tech tycoons are founders of their businesses, but two of the wealthiest and most prominent were early employees: Sheryl Sandberg at Facebook (net worth: $1.9 billion) and Meg Whitman at eBay (net worth: $6.4 billion). Three of the self-made women in this category — Jacqueline Reses, Alyssa Henry and Sarah Friar — made a significant part of their fortunes at Square, the $9.5 billion (2020 revenues) payments colossus.”
