MORE WOMEN ARE BOSSING IT

Two out of five female entrepreneurs make their millions during their 30s, and age 35 is the most common time for success, a new report reveals.

More than half of successful businesswomen do well without a degree and eight out of 10 lead charitable organisations, says fashion brand Missy Empire.

The top five most lucrative female boss industries are fashion, cosmetics, food and beverage, technology and sport.

Beyoncé tops the list of best women entrepreneurs, ranked on criteria including number of companies, net worth, charitable contributions, awards won and social media searches, followed by Ellen DeGeneres, Kylie Jenner, Kim Kardashian and Oprah Winfrey.

Ash Siddique, Missy Empire CEO said: “Female entrepreneurs are so important. Young people today can be inspired by these celebs and know that you don’t necessarily need to have obvious criteria to become a girl boss.”
