Just for inspiration but with Claire, Teapot and MG on a roll perhaps its not needed
Keep it in the family
If I’ve learnt one lesson from researching these mega-wealthy women, then it would be this: keep things in the family.
For example, Rosalia Mera and her ex-husband Amancio Ortega started out small, making lingerie and dressing gowns in their home, before going on to build the mighty Zara clothing empire. Likewise, Donald and Doris Fisher worked together as a team to make Gap one of the world’s biggest retail brands.
So, if you’ve no chance of inheriting a fortune, forget the National Lottery. Instead, try starting an entrepreneurial family business. Who knows, with hard work, you could be the next Oprah or JK!
