Forbes Billionaires’ Club

SBS is showing some stuff from America about the world’s billionaires. The point of the spot is the women who are (finally) on it. One is JK Rowling – a billionaire from just one set of books!* Another is someone at eBay, another Oprah,** and one from China who did something with paper.

Woohoo! That there are women on there now. Boo hiss that it’s only 1% of the whole list who are self-made women. Hello, gender equality….

*Yeh yeh, plus the merchandising – but still just from one set of books.
**Who, despite being painful, must be one helluva smart cookie, and I can’t help but admire her: female black.
