All Time Top 5 Richest Women in the World
I was inspired to look back at history and single out the richest women of all time. This list from Neatorama takes a good look at the top ten richest men in history. Although today when we think of the richest men we might think of Bill Gates or Warren Buffett, the richest man in history was indeed John D. Rockafeller. The top five richest women in history are also not necessarily from our time. Keep reading to find out about the top 5 richest women in world, throughout history.
Elizabeth I of England
Peak Wealth: $142.9 Billion USD
Elizabeth I inherited her wealth after rising to the throne of England. Her life before the throne was full of commotion as her family members were all vying for the crown. She narrowly escaped death many times. After she took a hold of the crown her life was far from simplified. She ruled for forty-five years and provided a consistent government for England that helped form a sense of nationality among the people of England. Elizabeth I never married and the reasons for this are unclear. Perhaps she did not want the interference of another country or monarch in her government. She took many suitors, but her childhood may have put her off the idea of marriage.
Although near the end of her reign people were starting to speak badly of her, after the next few rulers took over, there was a revival of Elizabethan ideals.

The Difference Between Fulfillment and Achievement
Although the main focus of this blog has been to detail the different aspects of the lives of billionaire women, I like to think that it goes deeper than that. After all, we are all human beings, no matter what our income level or our inheritance accounts. That’s why I think that it’s really important for us to take a step back from the every day routine to look inside. It also helps to know what you’re looking for when you peek inside your own dark abyss. Sometimes we like to think that we are all after something different, but Tony Robbins suggests that all human beings are only trying to meet the same few basic needs. One of these needs is the topic for this post today and I’ll go over the two sides of it in more detail now.
Achievement is…
Dictionary definition: A thing done successfully, typically by effort, courage or skill.
It seems today that everyone is fueled by the golden carrot of achievement. This carrot is dangled in front of us day and night and it is something that gets ingrained in us from birth through social conditioning. We want to succeed, we want to be the good child, the one who does well. So we try harder, put more effort into it and develop our skills. We achieve, whether it is what we want or not. We achieve at school and at work. Then we show off our achievements to everyone through the house we buy, the family we build, and the wardrobe we wear. For men everything revolved around their car, for women it can be the size of the ring on their finger or their beautiful home.
We live in an achievement driven environment and if we don’t have anything to show our achievements, then we feel inferior. Do you ever feel weak explaining your career choices to strangers or new acquaintances? Continue reading »
