Oprah Winfrey & Stedman Graham ($2.8 Billion)

Oprah is worth $2.8 billion on her own — the wealthiest self-made woman in American media history. Stedman Graham is worth $10 million as an author and educator. They've been together since 1986, engaged since 1992, and never married because Oprah has said "the marriage would not have lasted." Combined, they exceed Bhutan's GDP. But this is really Oprah's entry: OWN network, Weight Watchers stake ($430 million profit), Harpo Productions, O Magazine, her Apple TV+ deal. She built a $2.8 billion empire from a childhood of poverty and abuse in rural Mississippi. Nobody on this list comes close to that arc.
