Cleopatra's Riches - Learn

What the Queen of the Nile Can Teach Us About Wealth Today

 

“Wealth isn’t just money. It’s strategy, resilience, and the courage to rule your own empire.”Felecia Froe, MD

 

Cleopatra. Queen. Strategist. Icon.

 

When you hear Cleopatra’s name, you may picture golden crowns, seduction, and empire. But in the Wealth B-Hers Episode 226: “Cleopatra: Wealth, Power, and the Feminine Economy”, we reveal a different truth: Cleopatra’s riches were built on strategy, influence, and bold financial moves. She was one of the wealthiest, most strategic rulers of her time.

 

She controlled grain like we control data. She taxed luxury, funded wars, and leveraged narrative. Cleopatra’s riches weren’t just gold. They were strategy, power, and purpose. This isn’t ancient history. It’s a blueprint for modern financial sovereignty.

 

 

Let’s walk through her legacy using the LIVE Framework: Learn, Invest, Value, Enjoy.




LEARN: Know the True Value of Resources

 

Cleopatra used grain, not gold, to sway the Roman Empire. She understood that in a famine, food was more powerful than currency.

 

Modern lesson: Your knowledge is your currency. Learning how money works, from debt to investments to tax strategy, puts power back in your hands.

 

Ask yourself: What do I know, or need to know, that can give me leverage today?

INVEST: Build Wealth Beyond Gold

 

This iconic imagery reminds us: grain sustains, gold shines. Cleopatra didn’t just stack wealth. She understood what to invest in and why.



Modern parallel: Wealth isn’t just savings. It’s your health, relationships, intellectual property, and peace of mind.

 

Start with: Where can I plant seeds now that will grow into freedom later?

VALUE: Prioritize What Sustains



In your life: Stop trading long-term security for short-term sparkle. Know your values, and spend accordingly.

 

Reflect: Is this purchase helping me build a legacy or feed insecurity?

ENJOY: Use Wealth With Purpose

 

Even with immense power, Cleopatra understood the importance of joy and culture. Her wealth served her purpose, not the other way around.

 

Modern message: Don’t wait until “someday” to enjoy your life. Design a lifestyle that reflects your values and lights you up now.

 

Ask: How can I align my spending with what makes me feel alive?

The Client a $1.4 Billion Advisor Won’t Take with Jonathan Steele

What if the way you think about money today traces back to something that happened when you were twelve or thirteen? On this episode of Wealth B-Hers, Dr. Felecia Froe sits down with Jonathan Steele, founder and chief investment officer of One Wealth Advisors, a firm managing $1.4 billion for roughly 400 families. Jonathan traces his money story back to eighth grade, watching his mom pay off a department store credit card the second they got home, and then walks through his own winding path from a restaurant kitchen to cold calling at Bear Stearns to building an independent firm with his brother.

ICYMI: Creating Social Impact Through Real Estate Investing with Felecia Froe

Dr. Felecia Froe made her first real estate investment years before she even knew she was an investor. She was five years into her medical practice when it hit her that this wasn’t the last thing she’d ever do. In this ICYMI crossover from Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing, she tells host Jonathan Greene how an office building she bought with fellow women physicians turned out to be that first deal, though she didn’t realize it until years later. From there she built fast, lost hard in 2008, and rebuilt into Money With Mission, a community that helps professional women use real estate as a financial escape hatch from bad jobs and bad relationships.

Foundations #11: The Cost of Waiting

There’s a kind of waiting that doesn’t feel like waiting. You know exactly what you need to do. You’ve meant to do it for longer than you’d like to admit. You keep finding a reason why right now isn’t quite the right time, and you tell yourself that’s responsible, that’s thoughtful, that’s just good timing. In episode 11 of the Wealth B-Hers Foundations series, Dr. Felecia Froe is done letting that story stand. She breaks down exactly what waiting costs, the compound growth that quietly disappears, the confidence that erodes one avoided month at a time, the low hum of 2am anxiety that never fully goes away. She shares her own experience starting over in the middle of real loss after 2008, and she lands on something most financial advice never says out loud: the perfect moment to begin is never coming, for anyone.
