Even though she sold American Girl to Mattel over two decades ago, Pleasant Rowland, the founder of American Girl, is still one of America's richest self-made women.
According to the site Forbes, Pleasant Rowland is #84 on a list of America's Self Made Women based on net worth. Pleasant Rowland has a net worth of $355 million. For comparison, the top woman on the list is Diane Hendricks, who made her $11 billion in the roofing industry.
To me, it's interesting that Pleasant is still on the list, despite her stepping down from American Girl in 2000. So that, and the fact was it was a slow news day, made me post this.
Canada’s harsh winters and fluctuating temperatures demand tough, smart roofing. That’s why custom solutions are key. At the core of durability and performance lies expert craftsmanship—like that offered by https://falxroofing.ca/mississauga-roofers/. Their team understands what snow loads, ice dams, and sudden thaws can do to a roof. With materials selected for local conditions and designs meant to shed water and resist wind, their work reflects experience in Canadian climates. A custom approach doesn’t just protect homes—it prepares them for every season.

Did anyone else notice the coffee shop in the Dolled up back to school trailer video?! (You can see it at 0:31). I wonder if it's a new set for one of the World By Us Contemporary Doll's or if it's for Truly Me (You can see on the sign at the top of the shop it says American Girl Local Bean). Either way I'm so excited for the new Dolls and new Truly Me items!! I really hope Courtney gets some new items too!
