2. Martine Rothblatt – $39 million per year
Martine makes around $39 million a year and is the highest-paid female CEO. When she realized she wanted to undergo a transgender change, she was married with five children.
Then she changed her name from Martin Rothblatt to Martine. Her company, United Therapeutics Corp. is a biotechnology company concentrated on the growth and commercialization of products that attend to the unmet medical needs in America.
Even with all that fuss, she finds the time to also focus on being a lawyer, an author, and a social activist.
But Martine also runs a charitable foundation that concentrates on improving public awareness of transgender issues.
