Randa Williams has an estimated net worth of $11.3 billion, according to Forbes Real-Time Billionaires, Randa Williams profile (figures as of October 20, 2026). That is up from $5.9 billion in 2019.
Randa Williams is an American businesswoman tied to Enterprise Products Partners, an energy company her father Dan Duncan founded in 1968. She is the only sibling involved in running the family business, while her siblings also inherited stakes in it. Enterprise Products owns over 50,000 miles of energy pipelines, natural gas processing plants, and a large oil storage facility on the Gulf Coast. Williams also serves on the board of trustees at Rice University.
Her path to wealth and influence runs through both law and the family company. After earning a bachelor's degree from Rice University in 1985 and a law degree from the University of Houston, she practiced law for about 6 years beginning in 1988, handling toxic tort and property liability cases. She joined the business in 1994 and became president and CEO in 2001. Forbes puts her net worth at $11.3 billion on its real-time tracker as of October 20, 2026.
How Randa Williams built her fortune
Williams' wealth is closely tied to Enterprise Products Partners, the pipeline company founded by her father in 1968. The business spans key parts of the energy chain, with over 50,000 miles of pipelines, natural gas processing plants, and a major oil storage site on the Gulf Coast. Williams holds a stake in the family business and stands out as the only sibling active in management. That direct role helps explain why she is closely identified with the company.
Before moving fully into energy, Williams worked as a lawyer for about 6 years starting in 1988, focusing on toxic tort and property liability matters. She joined Enterprise Products in 1994, served as vice president, and rose to president and CEO in 2001. In 2013, she was elected non-executive chairman. Her wealth also reflects the family's inheritance after Dan Duncan died in 2010, when a temporary repeal of the estate tax law let his fortune pass tax-free to his descendants.
Forbes net worth trend
Forbes has tracked big swings and then a long climb in Williams' fortune. Its World's Billionaires List estimated her wealth at $5.9 billion in 2019, then $3.6 billion in 2020. After that, the number moved back up to $6 billion in 2021, $6.6 billion in 2022, $6.8 billion in 2023, and $7.7 billion in 2024. Those estimates follow the value of her inherited stake in a large energy infrastructure business.
The gains continued after 2024. Forbes estimated Williams at $9.3 billion in 2025 and $10.2 billion in 2026 on its annual list. By October 2026, Forbes' real-time billionaires tracker showed $11.3 billion. Her wealth source stays the same throughout that run: ownership connected to Enterprise Products Partners, a major pipelines and energy storage company that remains under family control, with Williams directly involved in running it.
