10 of the Richest Women in History

[ad_1]



Known as the "Queen of the Nile," Cleopatra died Aug. 12, 30 B.C., but her legend lives on. Despite being the last queen of the Macedonian dynasty that ruled Egypt, she had faint -- if any -- Egyptian roots.



Also one of the richest women in history, her net worth was an estimated $95.8 billion, according to the book, Cleopatra: A Life. Largely considered one of the smartest, most fascinating people of all time, Cleopatra spoke as many as a dozen different languages.



She considered herself a living goddess and used this to her advantage. Legend has it she once smuggled herself into Julius Caesar's personal quarters in a carpet or linen sack.



Brave and bold, she led several dozen Egyptian warships into battle while married to Mark Antony. The couple created their own drinking society called the Inimitable Livers.
