Bethenny Frankel came in third place with $55 million, thanks to her SkinnyGirl Margarita empire. Supermodel Gisele Bundchen, talk-show host Ellen DeGeneres, country singer Taylor Swift and TV jurist Judge Judy Sheindlin all tied for fourth place with $45 million each. If you're wondering where Beyoncé Knowles falls on the list, she's ninth with $35 million.
