♻ @Regrann @onthisdateinhiphop - Move over Oprah... Meet Sarah Rector - the 2nd African-American millionaire in the United States. ・・・ After receiving part of a 160 acre inheritance in Oklahoma Territory, Sarah became wealthy when the Standard Oil Company struck oil on the land [Her father leased the land to the company to help pay the bills]. Reports have it that the land produced 2,500 barrels of oil a day and earned Rector $300 a day in royalties. Sarah was a millionaire by the time she turned 18 and had people from all over catching the vapors, including 4 Germans who tried to marry her when she was 12 🤑. ・・・ She owned stocks, a bakery, a restaurant and a boarding house. Her mansion, the Rector House, is still erect (😏) in Kansas City today. ・・・ Ohhhhh... Who is the 1st Black woman millionaire u ask??? Entrepreneur Madame C.J. Walker, of course. #OTDIHHAAH ・・・ Now Playing: Common ft.
