Jumping a career and raising a child is not easy. However, there are real supermoms in the world who manage not only to put their heirs on their feet without outside help, but also to provide them with a wonderful future in terms of finances. Recently, the authoritative edition of Forbes compiled a list of the richest parents in the world.

In the first place in the list, which includes 70 names, was 55-year-old mother of one child, American Christy Walton. The fortune of the widow, the son of the founder of the world's largest retail chain Wal-Mar, is estimated at $ 22.5 billion.

In second place was the French widow and mother of one child Liliane Bettencourt with her $ 20 billion. She inherited such a huge fortune from her father, the founder of the world's largest cosmetics company L'Oreal.

However, despite the multi-billion dollar fortune, Ms. Bettencourt has a rather difficult relationship with her daughter. So, last year, Françoise filed a lawsuit in which she demanded to assess the condition of her mother and, in case of her insanity, appoint a special guardian who would not allow the billionaire to spend money on her own.

The third line in the ranking of the richest mothers is occupied by the Swedish widow and mother of three children Brigita Rausing. She inherited her 13 billion after the death of her husband, head of Tetra Laval.

Closes the five leaders 48-year-old mother of two children, American Abijail Johnson. Together with her father, she heads the largest US fund Fidelity Investments, founded by her grandfather. At the moment, her fortune is estimated at eleven and a half billion dollars.

Of the 70 mothers included in the ranking, only eight have made their huge fortunes on their own, notes Reuters.

So, 53-year-old Margarita Whitman is proud that, with two sons, she was able to successfully lead the Internet company eBay Inc. for many years. The American woman's fortune is estimated at $ 1.3 billion.

The list of the richest mothers also includes the writer J. K. Rowling, the Chinese woman Jang Sing, who managed to independently open the country's largest construction company, as well as the wife of the Moscow mayor, Elena Baturina, whose fortune is estimated at approximately three billion dollars.
