We respect all of the women who have been born into wealth and then worked hard at making more, but we feel like it takes someone a little more special to make a billion from nothing. Huda Kattan, therefore, counts as special. She grew up with an interest in beauty and started work as a normal makeup artist - one of thousands in her trade. It was blogging that made the difference between her and her competition.
She can thank her sister for the idea of starting a blog, and we're sure she does on a daily basis - 'Huda Beauty' quickly became a must-see website for those in the beauty trade. Inevitably, the blog progressed to including a shopping area for Kattan's range of cosmetics, which are in permanent high demand. She's now the star of her own reality show - 'Huda Boss' - and although she's just-about earned a billion dollars now, we're sure she'll double that in the very near future.
