Diane Hendricks, Afton, Wis.
Hendricks is hoarding $2.2 billion. She is the only woman on our list of 11 leading plutocrats.
Hendricks and her husband were business partners from 1982 until his death in 2007. She then took over ABC Supply, which is the nation's largest roofing, window, and siding wholesaler.
Last year, ABC Supply acquired its top competitor, Bradco Supply Co., a move that's sure to help competition and benefit consumers.
Hendricks told Forbes in 2010: "We need Washington to stop putting new burdens on businesses. That's the best way to encourage job creation."
Burdens?
Balance the budget on her back!
