"Dream - Billionaires around the world are accumulating wealth in amounts that are truly astonishing and can even be said to be increasingly absurd. Elon Musk is known to have a fortune of US$222 billion or around Rp3.546 trillion. Meanwhile, among women, Françoise Bettencourt Meyers, the heiress of the L'Oreal empire, has become the richest woman in the world with a fortune of around US$86 billion."

"According to South China Morning, Wu is said to have reasons to be remembered as the richest woman in history. Considering that China's wealth at that time accounted for 23 percent of the global GDP. Wu's wealth is estimated to reach US$16 trillion. Much more than Françoise or even Elon Musk, who only has US$222 billion. 'She has reasons to be remembered as the richest woman in history, with some estimates saying she controlled assets worth US$16 trillion,' said SCMP."

"Wu was the official empress of China from 690 to 705. She held power in 690, seven years after the death of Gaozong, by changing the name of China from Tang to Zhou. The name Tang was restored when Wu's son ascended the throne again after Wu's death in 705."

"Wu is regarded as a strong leader who initiated territorial expansion into Central Asia and was involved in a series of wars on the Korean Peninsula. Wu is also seen as a captivating figure, not only as the only empress in Chinese history but also due to the intriguing mystery surrounding her legacy. "Wu had significant control over China's wealth during her reign, which is why she is often considered the richest woman in history," wrote SCMP."
