Forbes has unveiled its highly anticipated annual list of the richest individuals in the Philippines, and 2024 has spotlighted 26 women who have not only shattered glass ceilings but have also amassed fortunes that position them among the nation’s wealthiest.

While some of these women inherited their wealth from family empires, others have built their fortunes from the ground up, demonstrating resilience, ingenuity, and an unwavering commitment to their respective industries.

The Sy sisters, Teresita and Elizabeth, top the list with an astounding combined net worth of $13 billion (P745 billion). The Sy family’s wealth is primarily diversified, rooted in their significant stakes in the publicly traded SM Investments and SM Prime. As integral figures in the SM Group, the sisters continue to solidify their father’s legacy, navigating the conglomerate’s growth across various sectors, from retail and real estate to banking and tourism.

Not far behind are the Consunji sisters—Josefa, Luz, Maria, and Cristina—who share a collective net worth of $3.4 billion (P195 billion). Their wealth stems from DMCI Holdings, one of the largest construction and property development firms in the Philippines. These sisters have proven that the construction industry, traditionally dominated by men, can also be a domain where women excel and thrive.

Susan Co, another remarkable name on the list, has a net worth of $2.3 billion (P132 billion). As the chairman of Puregold Price Club, Susan Co has expanded her supermarket chain into one of the leading retail giants in the country, making shopping more accessible and affordable to millions of Filipinos.

The Gokongwei siblings—Robina, Lisa, Faith, Hope, and Marcia—are also featured prominently with a combined net worth of $1.9 billion (P108 billion). Their wealth is largely derived from JG Summit, a conglomerate with interests in airlines, telecommunications, banking, food, power, and property. Robina, the chief executive of Robinsons Retail, has particularly made her mark by steering the retail arm to new heights.

Vivian Que Azcona, president of Mercury Drug, holds a net worth of $1.7 billion (P97 billion). Mercury Drug is a household name in the Philippines, synonymous with accessible healthcare and pharmaceutical products. Under Vivian’s leadership, the drugstore chain has maintained its status as the leading pharmacy in the country, with branches nationwide.

Soledad Oppen-Cojuangco, with a net worth of $1 billion (P57 billion), inherited her wealth from her late husband, Eduardo Cojuangco, who was a towering figure in the San Miguel Corporation. Despite inheriting her fortune, Soledad has managed to keep her family’s diversified empire thriving in the years since her husband’s passing.

Maria Grace Uy, co-founder of Converge ICT Solutions, has a net worth of $920 million (P52 billion).
