The World's Wealthiest Women

The Worlds Wealthiest Women is an examination of the richest women in history: how they spent their fortunes, and whether their great wealth was commensurate with great happiness. The women profiled had many splendored bank accounts, derived from inheritance, marriage, or ingenuity, along with fascinating biographies. This book tells the stories of astronomically rich ladies from different eras and various countries, both happy and unhappy silver spooners.
