First self-made millionairess
The first woman to earn a personal fortune of more than $1,000,000 is Madam C J Walker (USA; born Sarah Breedlove), whose net worth was estimated to have exceeded $1 million at the time of her death in 1919.
Madam CJ Walker was born in Delta, Louisiana, on 23 Dec 1867. She was the fifth child of Owen and Minerva Breedlove and the first not to be born into slavery. She married at 14 but was widowed (with a young daughter) by 20. Around 1904, while living in St Louis, Missouri, she began working as a sales agent for a hair-care company run by Annie Turnbo Malone, before striking out on her own with "Madam C J Walker's Wonderful Hair Grower" in 1905.
Walker's company sold a variety of hair care products targeted at African-American women like herself, whose needs were not met by the mainstream brands of the time.

Guinness family
Prominent Irish & British family in brewing, banking, and politics
For other uses, see Guinness (disambiguation).
The Guinness family is an extensive Irish family known for its achievements in brewing, banking, politics, and religious ministry. The brewing branch is particularly well known among the general public for producing the dry stout beer Guinness, as founded by Arthur Guinness in 1759.[2] An Anglo-IrishProtestant family,[3][4][5] beginning in the late 18th century, they became a part of what is known in Ireland as the Protestant Ascendancy.[6][3]
The "banking line" Guinnesses all descend from Arthur's brother Samuel (1727–1795) who set up as a goldbeater in Dublin in 1750; his son Richard (1755–1830), a Dublin barrister; and Richard's son Robert Rundell Guinness who founded Guinness Mahon in 1836.[4]
The current head of the family is the Earl of Iveagh. Another prominent branch, descended from the 1st Earl of Iveagh, is headed by Lord Moyne.
